We started the season with zero wins and seven losses and have now clawed our way back in playoff contention. In the recent quarterfinal game, we faced the team that knocked us out of the playoffs last year by beating us at home, in OT, and on our home turf. How would we react...we faced the challenge and beat Gordon to advance to the Semifinal game against Endicott; A game which we haven't been in since 2003 and our only third appearance in program history. Our team is excited to be advancing through the playoffs and eager to win each game at a time." - Salve Regina head coach Bill Villareal
