Coach's comments on the win...

"It was a slow start for us conceding early in the game but the guys responded really well and pushed hard to get the first goal. After scoring we thought and hoped the second goal would come a bit quicker but it took time. The boys kept trying to be dangerous and create chances and scored a really nice team goal to take the lead. After scoring we had to withstand some really good pressure from Dartmouth. [I was] proud of the way the guys defended and managed the result in the final 10 minutes whihc led to us getting the third goal."
