"That was tough. We worked hard on this one all week and I thought we were ready.

It's hard looking at the stat line and figuring out where things went wrong. Won face offs, ground balls, almost doubled them up in shots. Very frustrating.

We had some costly mental mistakes and those kill you in a one goal game. We continue to struggle at shooting. Not just putting the ball away but also getting shots on cage too.

Can't do anything but learn from the out of conference season.

We go on the road to play an undefeated Elmhurst team, and we are going to need a much better effort than we had today. Just have to keep grinding."
