COACH'S QUOTE
"Great win for our team today and a historic weekend for the program, getting our first point ever at St. Lawrence," said Head Coach Jim Plumer. "These were two very intense, closely fought games and I really feel like we got better as the weekend went on. We saved our best for last as the third period was the best of the season so far. Shoutout to Zoe Cliché on her first career win in net and Oona Havana for the game winner in OT. Proud of our special teams as well."
