My comments:  This was a good win for the Wildcats against a nonconference
opponent who, until recently, has been ranked in the top 10 most of the
season.  This was a game that could easily have been lost, particularly
coming on the heels of a disappointing UNH performance last Saturday against
BU.  I'm sure Dick Umile impressed upon his team the importance of this game
in light of the power ratings.
 
Note: UNH finishes the regular season 6-1 against the ECAC, with wins over
St. Lawrence, Clarkson (twice), Colgate, Harvard, and Brown.  The only loss
was to Vermont in the season opener.
 
Also good to see 7 goals scored by players not on the first line.  If the
'Cats can get consistent scoring from the second and third lines down the
stretch, watch out!
