On winning a tight double-overtime game ... "Wisconsin-Milwaukee is a very good team, and they came here to get a good result and played their hearts out just like we did.

I think you're starting to see the mental toughness really come out in our players and that's a great step forward for a lot of the young guys that are on the field and the veteran leaders as well. We responded extremely well. It was a great goal they scored, they had one shot in the second half and scored a great goal from it, but for us to be able to respond and equalize off of Chase Tennant's magnificent goal and take it into overtime and win it, is just proof that this team is a good team and will continue to roll forward."
