against brown capitalize couple game goals hard harvard last period putting reward second third time work
I think the third period was our reward. We went through a time there, with the second game against BC, the game against Brown and last week's game against Harvard where we were putting in the hard work with no reward. The third was our reward and we were able to capitalize and put a couple goals in.

This was a game where we were never in it. We have been involved in every game all year with exception to the first game against UNH and this one.

change complex earlier finding found games goals late score scoring struggled ways
We have struggled a little with scoring goals. In earlier games this season, we found ways to score goals late in the game and we just haven't been finding ways to do that lately. One goal can really change the complex of a game.

We all remained very content with our overall effort. It was an excellent first season, and I am very appreciative of the effort put in by all of the players.
