Quotables
Head Coach Jennifer Averill - "Unfortunate situation for us to play Wake Forest hockey beginning in the second half and not have that kind of fire in our belly in the first half. Boston College did really well taking our acronym, win it back, and gave us a lesson there. We're capable of it, but we are not consistent with that yet.
It's a season of preparation to play in a fantastic tournament and hopefully we take these lessons and have a better performance in the tournament. The seniors showed their leadership today and played big when we asked them to. Hopefully, they will have an opportunity to stretch their season a little longer."
Up Next
Wake Forest will head to the 2021 ACC Championships on Nov. 4-7 in Syracuse, N.Y. The quarterfinals begin on Nov. 4 with a trio of matchups before the semifinals on Friday. The ACC Championship game is set to take place on Sunday, Nov. 7 at Noon.
