We came on strong in the third period. We pulled together and showed a lot of heart. We just ran into a hot goalie.
duke held period strong
Duke had a real strong period in the first period. He kind of held us in there.
came exciting game kept strong
They came out strong but we kept our composure. It was a very back-and-forth game and exciting to watch.
came game knew mitchell plan struggling
We knew Mitchell was going to come out strong. That has been their game plan all year. On the other side, we came out struggling and were a little flat-footed.
fell rut work
We kind of fell in a rut with the penalties. They were what I called 'lazy penalties' where we don't want to go out and work hard.
couple fill guys nice played pleased win
We were down a couple of guys and had to fill in some players. We played pretty good. I was really pleased with tonight, other than that first period. It was a nice win for us before we go to Pierre.
below coming falls few fourth good last league month sioux streak worked
Brookings has had a real good streak in the last few years. They have a good program. Sioux Falls has been coming on lately. They worked their way into fourth in the league standings in the last month and a half. They were seeded below us for most of the season.
faced leader responsibility season
Matt's been our leader this season and faced a lot of responsibility.
bumps decent fast pierre played team teams tough toward
Pierre is a pretty tough team and we're pretty evenly matched. When we play teams that are fast and strong, that bumps us up a notch. We played pretty decent toward the end, but I think we can play better.
answered behind fallen falling fire goal gotten half happy minute ourselves rest year
I was real happy with the way we responded after falling behind early. We've really done that all year long. We haven't gotten down on ourselves when we've fallen behind. I think we answered their goal with one of our own about a minute and a half later. Once we got that first goal, it kind of ignited a fire for us the rest of the night.
darn game start
That darn first period. If we had a game we could start without the first period, we'd be in business.
obviously period regroup second struggling
We're still struggling with the first period and I don't know what to do about that. But obviously we were able to regroup in the second period.
guys heck job spots
We had guys in different spots and those guys did a heck of a job for us.
happiness happy hung
I wasn't happy with the way we played, but we kind of hung in there.
