"This was a nice team win," said Head Coach Mike Lowell. "We were able to play well as a team and dug deep to pull away after Maine Maritime closed the gap. I am very happy with our defensive unit and goalies. A strong showing with multiple players having a good offensive night. A big thanks to all the parents and fans that stuck out the game and the weather."
