QUOTABLE
Peter Hay, TWU Head Coach
"We played well enough to win, but we couldn't find a way to score. We worked hard, but we just couldn't get pucks past their block shots, sticks, and goalie. We need to learn to play smarter under that pressure if we want to be a top team, as teams are going to play us hard now that we have had some success this season. Next week, we will commit to getting better."
