Quotes
"Our four seniors really took a great leap forward this year with all that we asked them to do. For the last three years, they played in the shadow of the large class that we graduated last season." – Nichols College head coach Wil Brown on the play of the seniors
"Alexa really came into her own the second half of this season, putting more pucks on the net lately, which has really helped us from the back end – showing our defenders not only how to defend but also how to provide some offense from the back." – Brown on the play of senior captain Alexa Smith

"Julia Mastrototaro (Holden, Mass.) brings so much speed and vision out to the ice every single day. We will have a hard time replacing her next season." – Brown on the play of senior captain Mastrototaro

"Erin is a work-horse. She is what I want from a player – she does exactly what I ask her to do day in and day out. She was able to consistently frustrate her opponents in all four years here at Nichols." Brown on the play of senior captain Erin Dice (Ashburn, Va.)

"With Sam we lucked out getting her as a transfer from Franklin Pierce. She came in able to play forward and defense and asked us what we needed – so we put her on defense. She is just a really solid hockey player all around." Brown on the play of senior captain Samantha Mead (Hazen, N.D.)
