Head Coach Andy Murray

On the win:

"Well certainly anytime you play a CCHA team, every game is going to be a battle. Northern Michigan came in here missing a couple of their top guys but they fought tooth-and-nail. It was down to the hockey game again with the goalie pulled and your heart is in your throat because you'd like to score again. The power play wasn't as good as we need it to be, certainly getting the six points was the best part of the weekend."

On momentum from wins:

"I don't like the word momentum. Everyone uses the word momentum, but what is it? To me, I love hearing coaches say, 'we've got momentum,.' Well that's great but do you think you're next opponent cares if you've got momentum? You've got to focus on your next shift and the next game. We played some solid hockey and that's the bottom line."

Senior Forward Trevor Ilias

On the offensive effort tonight:

"We knew they were going to come in and battle, and that it was going to be a grind right to the end. We're a team that does as much as we can by getting guys to the net."

On his goal:

"It's always nice to get the monkey off the back. I just come to practice every day and do my best, and work as hard as I can."

Sophomore Goalie Frank Slubowski

On his effort this weekend:

"I would say below average in the first game for sure. I think I responded pretty well, and our team battled hard and gave me a lot of support."

On playing against such an offensive team:

"It was a tough game, especially mentally. I stayed in there with it and was able to make some saves."

On the season so far:

"Obviously we want to win the championship, that's the goal for everyone. We want to keep improving and making strides towards that."
