"Today was a victory for us. To play down a guy and get a point out of it. The guys deserve a lot of credit. They dug in for 95 minutes after going down a man and showed a lot of maturity. We had a lot of great contributions from the bench today, guys that may not get a lot of time, stepped up for us. Now we are on to UMass Lowell," said Vermont head coach Jesse Cormier.
