Hear from Coach Bolding
"The road trip was a huge success, and we are very happy to get two big ECAC wins. We had great energy, teamwork and forechecking in both games and the pressure paid off as we had a lot of O-zone time," said Mark Bolding, Yale's Susan Cavanagh Head Coach of Women's Hockey. "Pia was great all weekend in the net and both (Jordan) Ray and (Carina) DiAntonio made a big impact in their collegiate debuts netting two each while playing on our top two lines. Now to prepare for a tough series ahead at home with Quinnipiac and Princeton."
