QUOTES FROM THE SEAWOLVES
"Lost the game, credit New Hampshire for doing a great job of responding and coming back to win," said head coach Billy Cosh. "Their players played hard and made plays. We made too many mistakes as an organization to win that game. It starts with the coaches to the players and we just didn't execute at the end of the game. We got to learn from this one. We've had a good stretch, lots of things we need to get better at this week."
