With the win, Yale moved into a tie for seventh place with Dartmouth in the ECAC Hockey standings.
“They [Yale] were better than us in every facet of the game,” head coach Bob Gaudet ’81 said. “We played like a tired team tonight, and it was just one of those games where the other team was just better than we were.”

“They were better than us in the second and made us pay for it,” Gaudet said. “There has to be a better level of pushback when that happens.”
