James Bundy

Yale had won one game all year and they came in and they dominated us. We had to scramble in the last couple of minutes just to tie it up, 1-1. It's embarrassing.

We're not all hawks or Republicans, and we don't all agree with Bush or certain agendas -- but we are unified in our commitment to defend the nation.

Jack Szymanski

There was a lot of pressure coming into today because we've never beaten Yale. We're 0-9 against Yale. We really made history today and it was a big win.

Jenna Golden

There are certainly plenty of opportunities to put $500 million worth of capital in the hedge fund space. I think by and large Yale is looked upon as a preferred investor, and therefore I think a lot of managers would be open to having discussions with them.

Peter Salovey

Four good scores like that at Yale, your going to be successful especially in those conditions.

I struggled in the first game of the series, and I didn't want to end my Yale career on that note. I really wanted to be in the net on Saturday so I could play like I'm capable of. I just went out, had fun and after the game, I knew there was nothing more I could have done on the ice.
