QUOTES FROM THE COACH: MELANIE RUZZI

"I thought our penalty kill was exceptional at shutting down their power play. We scored a nice power play goal getting a tip out in front. We outplayed St. Lawrence for a good portion of the game, but just weren't able to put pucks in net. We played hard and created chances, but couldn't find a way to score goals."

"We need to become finishers. That's the next level of maturity for this team. Our team defense and forechecking have been exceptional. We're smart, but we need to do more at this point with the puck."

UP NEXT
Brown will return home for a midweek non-conference clash against Merrimack on Wednesday afternoon at 3 p.m.
