"It was a very successful Senior Day for us, with Joaquin scoring twice while Joe Vitale playing good in the goal for us," said UNLV head coach Rich Ryerson.

Now we need to take that same standard of play with us when we go on the road for the final games of the regular season. Earning three points with today's win was big for us, we hope to keep picking up points over the next two weekends."

We faced 16 shots today and Jake Feener had a lot of good saves.”
