That says a lot. In any sport, there's always good teams that don't handle (success) well. They get cocky or whatever. We've had a great year and we've won a lot, but I'm proud of how they have handled it. It's a pretty unique group.

It was a really good game. Both teams had opportunities. Both teams had shots that hit the post. And both goalies made some big saves.

This says that there's going to be a very bright future. We've got to bite our tongues in this one, but next year we'll be back and we'll be thirsty for more.

The two teams combined, the record is blown away. To both do it in the same year is amazing. People talked about that after the split, that it would never get back to that way.

They play a style that's quite a bit different from other teams we've played. A lot of the game was playing in the neutral zone. They don't give you good looks and they clog up the middle.

It's important to make sure (the gymnasts) don't get overconfident or too cocky or too arrogant. We've had teams in the past that would've responded to that (ranking), but these girls are not like that. They're very professional in their approach. It's been pretty much a textbook season in terms of us teaching and them responding.
