Straight From The Rink
Junior Casey O'Brien
On multiple milestones tonight, including her own:
"It's honestly so awesome. I didn't even know it was my 100th, but I knew it was Jesse and Nicole's and I am so incredibly happy for them. LaMa (LaMantia) is my roommate on the road and so it's awesome that we were able to do it together on the same night."

On what clicked in the second period:
"After we went down 1-0, we came together in the locker room and realized we have to figure things out and we have to be better. We allowed ourselves to play and each line had three things that they focused on, and once we stopped worrying about not losing, we were able to play free and fun hockey"

Senior Jesse Compher
On tonight's team win:
"It was a fun one. It's nice to see a lot of girls contributing out there, I think we're kind of finding our way here as a team. We've had a rough patch the past couple of games, but we've been showing up to practice and getting through adversity well. I'm excited to see where this team goes down the road."
