Head Coach Dylan Murphy:
"I think coach Tim Connelly said it; at this point of the year, every win is fun. We have no bad wins. We've played a bunch of good teams in tough games. Maine was down a couple bodies, but we know they're going to be ready to go in two days. I thought we were super physical defensively and set the tone on that end. We were able to carry that over for the rest of the game."
