COACHES COMMENT: Head Coach Lyn Sova, "We came out of the gate well in the 1st period but didn't finish on a few chances.  The 2nd period was not a good one, and bad penalties did not help. The boys responded well in the 3rd with 4 straight goals to put the game away.  Disappointed with the 2nd period, but incredibly proud of the way they turned it around in the 3rd."
 
NEXT UP: Calvin looks to complete the sweep against Davenport on the road. The game will be on Saturday October 24, at 3:30 in the afternoon. The game will be at Patterson Ice Center.
