Head Coach Scott Marr: "We just got outworked in the first half.  We didn't have a lot of energy for some reason.  We didn't compete hard enough in the first half.  We did in the second half, but you have to play a full game.  Vermont took advantage of it.  We didn't shoot the ball well, and Vermont took advantage of the times they had the ball.  It's disappointing, because I don't think we played our best.  I think we can play a lot better than we did, but we'll move on to next week."
 
How it Happened
 
  • Vermont scored 45 seconds into the game, and Tehoka Nanticoke tied the game at one with 13:01 remaining.  Kyle Casey put UAlbany up 2-1 with 10:50 to go, before Vermont rolled off three-straight to take a 4-2 lead with 4:32 left in the first.
  • UAlbany scored late in the first, only to give up another goal with 25 seconds remaining before the second to trail 5-3 after one.  Vermont's goal to end the first kicked off another 3-0 run for the Catamounts, who took a 7-3 lead with 8:22 remaining before halftime.
  • Graydon Hogg snapped Vermont's streak with 6:46 left in the second, before Vermont scored the final three of the first half, including with one second remaining, to lead 10-4 at the break.
