-Eagles Riley Nelson about spending too much time in the penalty box

“It’s tough to come back on a team like that,” center Riley Nelson said. “We let emotions get the best of us, and those penalties are minutes that guys are playing that we could be using to score another goal. But we can’t sit back and dwell on this.” 
 

-Colorado's Aaron Schneekloth about Texas's counter-strike ability

 “I thought we did a great job to kill off the penalty, and the next shift they come down and get one; we’ve got to be better than that,” Schneekloth said. “You hope that’s a momentum-changer, that 5-on-3, but they come right back to take the lead again.”
 

-Texas coach Dan Wildfong about his team's leadership

“I think it just shows the character and leadership on our team,” Texas coach Dan Wildfong said. “After that second goal, there were a lot of our guys saying, ’let’s keep going, don’t get down.’ It’s nice when it’s not coming from me.”
