QUOTABLES
Boston College head coach Katie Crowley
"Overall, I thought it was a good weekend. We scored goals when we needed to and made plays when we needed to."
"I thought Alex (Carpenter) was great tonight. I think she came to the rink prepared and ready to go and prepared to take control of the game. To me, that's what she did in this game today. She was very good and came with the intensity we need."
"(Keeping concentration on the end goal during a long winning streak) is a difficult thing, so we try to mix in some different things for them, whether it's a pool workout or something like that where we can get them doing something a little different. But overall, we just ask them to come to the rink ready to go and ready to try new things and trying to get better. And for the most part, they've done that."
