aspects effort expect few games good last mental return team top
I expect a real good effort and a competitive effort. I expect a team that is more accountable when it comes to the mental aspects of the game. We weren't very accountable these last few games and we need to return to the top of our game.

asked clearly confidence days innate love played playing russell sarah saw season skills stick thoughts top wonderful
All I ever saw Sarah Russell play was forward. I asked her two days before the season started, 'What are your thoughts about playing defense?' and she said, 'Oh I love it, I've played it all my life.' But she has wonderful stick skills and an innate confidence as a competitor, and she was clearly one of our top defensemen all year.

We did not play very well tonight. We were a little tentative and Quinnipiac played with a lot of tempo and a lot of pace. We didn't really carry play tonight. A lot is gauged by how well we collect passes, and we didn't seem to collect pucks tonight.

We should be better prepared this time around. We've got 21 freshmen that have played two-thirds of a Division I hockey season. They're more accustomed with the pace of the game and the ebb and flow of the game.

Brown has a long standing tradition of excellence. They are a well-coached team and a national power. We are excited for another good test.

I was going to make a line change and then I see No. 9 streaking on a breakaway out of the box. But she had to finish it and she did a great job against a fantastic goalie.
