It's disappointing we came out with that kind of game. But I think this team laid the groundwork for future success of the program.

It's been a while since we've won a first-round match-up. So I think there was some pressure there.

This game was very important for us. A loss would have been devastating.

Cornell is a very disciplined and strong defensive team. They're a team and a program that knows how to win.

We had some chances to tie the game. But ultimately, catch-up hockey is losing hockey.

We tried to simplify things, throw a lot more pucks at the net. We knew that we weren't going to score by shooting less.

We've played our best hockey over the last couple of games. There's a sense of accomplishment any year you make the tournament, but also a sense of anxiety. There are only good teams left. We played (Maine) last year, so it's not completely foreign to us.

We're excited about playing Dartmouth coming off their first league championship. We're a little bit reluctant to play on St. Patrick's Day against a team that calls themselves the Big Green.

We never established our will on Maine. We're a very good team. I don't think we showed ourselves very well tonight. I think it was one of those days.

I thought our guys played superbly. The power play came up big.
