KOOLMAN ON THE GAME: 

• “It was a very even game but we had a lot of chances and played very well,” said Holy Cross head coach Marco Koolman. “I thought we did a good job offensively, we just could not capitalize on the opportunities we made. Defensively we are playing really well which has been a collective effort. We just need to now finish our opportunities offensively. But I thought the team played hard today.”
