The team won 5-2 on Friday night and 7-5 on Saturday at the Pegula Ice Arena in State College. Freshman goalie Noah Grannan picked up his first win in the second contest.

Quote of the day
“It’s a system I would have really liked playing in, just because it allows you to really make plays in the backfield at linebacker. We don’t really play at level two and sift across. Whatever gap you’re in, that’s what you got. So you’re an A gap player, you don’t have to worry about the edge or anything. You can run right through the A gap. And usually, your coverage when we’re in man, it’ll be the running back or something within the box.”
