Eric Fisher saved 18 of the 41 shots he faced. He also racked up eight ground balls.

"I'm really proud of the growth that Eric has shown this season. He made some big time saves and showed a ton of leadership on the defensive end."

"Colt showed a lot of leadership on defense and Josh continues to improve in the middle on the field."

Alex Warren won eight faceoffs and picked up six ground balls. Landre Stemick tallied five ground balls and two caused turnovers. Wilbrandt also recorded three ground balls.
