The first period, we were not very good. It was our worst period of hockey in a while. The second period we turned it around and the goal we did get was a short-handed goal.

This is a huge win for the Wildcats. These girls are a very competitive group of young athletes who have tasted victory and hate to lose.

It was key that we came back and scored right away. All of a sudden we gave up that short-handed goal. Luckily, we weren't down very long.

They had (Jody Holland) who scored four goals. The key was that we got ourselves in a hole. They scored the first three goals. We played good hockey, but we weren't able to find that equalizer. We had our chances. Our girls worked hard, but we couldn't overcome that big deficit.

(Our seniors) played as good a game as we played in quite a while. Onalaska is a solid team. They could have been up in the first period as much as we were. They battled in our end and they just confounded us with their floor check. They've done it all year. Luckily, our goaltender came up big.

We got some good goaltending, including the breakaway. Katie got out of her slump.

We were pretty rusty. It's the fourth straight game the other team scored first but at least we came back in the first.

We came out strong in the first period and scored three power-play goals on the night. We move the puck really well.

We played quite well and could have scored more but their goalie was outstanding. We had a shutout so our defense was strong.

We just beat the defending state champs. They did it to us last year.
