Coach's comment: "This game was the second of our home and home with H/S. We lost in OT 4-3 on Wednesday in the first game, which was not indicative of our potential. The game tonight will hopefully set us back on the right path. The biggest story of the night was how phenomenal Erich Bender, the H/S goalie played. He made some great stops that had our players cheering for him."
