Head Coach Jim Culhane:

On Ferris State getting the first goal:

"That's the momentum right there, whoever gets that first goal. They were able to get it there, the first shift of the third period to get the momentum of the hockey game. I really liked the way we played through 40 minutes of play. I thought we played in well in all areas and yeah, the first goal was the momentum of the hockey game and they were able to find a way to get it."

On the power play:

"Well, there's 30 seconds there on the five-on-three and the key right there is to win the face-off. We didn't do that, they won the draw, they were able to make the clear and we were trying to skate the puck into the zone. By that time, that whole five-on-three, that has elapsed by then and we're on the five-on-four. I thought we had some quality chances there in the second period with some opportunities on the doorstep, so give Nagle a lot of credit, he made some big saves. I thought Riley made some big saves for us, too."

"Well, we got to get some goals. We'd like generate more scoring opportunities on it and get some goals on it obviously. We had some chances here tonight to. I think we're at a point right now where gripping our sticks a little tight, maybe overanalyzing some things on the ice. It may take one of those goals where maybe it's not very pretty, maybe it goes off a shin pad, or a skate, or shirt and maybe break the ice for us. We generated some chances there through the first 40 minutes of play there, and on the power play, but again, Nagle was there to make the saves."

On the penalty kill:

"It continues to be a real strong point for us. What comes to mind is the willingness of Clackson there in the first period, without his hockey stick to just try to block shots and get his hand on it and push it to an area. I thought our penalty-kill was strong."

Forward Chris Clackson:

On the penalty kill:

"When you get caught without a stick its pretty tough, but I just found myself in that situation and found a way to get it done. I got lucky, I got hit with a couple. Gill made some great saves there. It was a group effort, we got the puck out and we helped and we got the kill."

On the power play:

"Power play is a complicated thing. You've got a lot of guys out there trying to make a lot of plays and lately it hasn't been happening for us. Hopefully, the floodgates are going to open here soon and we're going to get three or four in a game. We've got a lot of guys working hard, trying to make plays, and getting pucks to the net. Goalies are making pretty good stops on us and we'll keep going at it. We're going to get power-plays every game, and every game we gotta keep going at it and find a way to score on them."

Defenseman Tyler Ludwig:

On the overall effort:

"I think we still played pretty well there in the third period. Just a few mistakes there at the blue line. They capitalized on it. They got two breakaways there in the first ten minutes. They're a good team and they capitalized. We just have to eliminate our mistakes there."

"We kinda kept them to the outside and they had a few in-tight shots and opportunities, but for the most part they were outside and shooting pucks from out there and we gotta rely on Riley to make those saves."

On the penalty kill:

"It's something that we emphasize too, a lot. A lot of blocked shots, Chris Clackson had a good shift there where he lost his twig and still put his body in front of the puck a lot. It's something we gotta keep working on, blocking the shots and getting it out of the zone, but we also gotta stay out of the penalty box a bit more too and not give these guys the opportunity to get up a guy on us."

On the power play:

"I thought we played well. The power-play was moving the puck well, we just gotta find a way to get the puck in the back of the net. Some good opportunities are coming from it, a lot of guys in fron t of the net. We're getting some key opportunities we just gotta make the extra effort to get that goal."
