Head Coach Greg Fargo
"It was great to be back on home ice after a break in December after plenty of road games in the first half. Our team kept finding ways to get better as the game went along tonight. The third was our best period and we'll look to carry that trend forward into tomorrow's game against Union."

Colgate returns to the ice tomorrow afternoon as they host Union in a conference matchup. The puck drop is set for 3 p.m.
