Quotes & Notes
“This was as close as we've gotten to our best line-up.â€
“We've got to be more ready in the first period, so that we can go out and get on top and not give them takedowns early and then let them on top longer in the match. And more aggressive because we have to trust our shape a little bit more. I feel like we're in as good of shape as anybody, but we have to impose our will more.â€
“I think they've responded to what we've challenged them on. I think their aggressiveness is where it needs to be. It always needs to be worked on and improved on. But I feel like they're committed to their training at a higher level. It shows, because I feel like we got Clarion tired in the third period in a lot of our matches and did some scoring at the end of the matches.†– Rider Head Coach John Hangey
“The past two seasons have been decent, but this year I've picked it up pretty good. It's been a good season so far, so hopefully I can keep the progress going.†– Rider redshirt junior Anthony Cefolo
