QUOTABLES

St. Cloud State Women's Hockey Head Coach Steve Macdonald

"Tonight was a game that came down to capitalizing on opportunities. They were able to find the net in a few of theirs - and we just weren't able to finish. Our details defensively need to be better to limit their's - but came down to finishing our chances."

On Addi Scribner's excellent weekend… "Addi is a player finding her home at center. She has great ability to play in traffic and come out of scrums in possession. She is a player who will play a big role offensively for us down the stretch."

Looking ahead… "Our resilience this weekend was good. We were able to push through some uncomfortable moments early on and earn a win yesterday. As a team we need to sharpen up on our details and our urgency within them leading into this next weekend."
