Coach Gorman: “We are very happy to get a win against a top program like Dartmouth. Our guys showed intensity and focus from the get go. Apart from the small period in the second half where we relaxed a bit and let them back in it we controlled the tempo well. It's nice to score goals and head in to conference play on the back of a win. We will turn our focus to a very good Hartford team.”

DaSilva: “It was a great team win. We all came out and worked really hard and in the first half we didn't really dominate but the second half we made sure to come out with a lot of energy. It was great to get the two goals and the win.”
