Head coach Katie Crowley met with media earlier this week to discuss her No. 2 Eagles as they prepare to open the season on Friday against Minnesota Duluth in the first of two games at Conte Forum.
Crowley touched on the learning lessons from the record-breaking 2014-15 season, the squad's leadership, the players' own high expectations, as well as the ingredient she sees needed to win it all this year.
Additionally, she touched on playing a western team to open the season, as well as the depth and competitiveness in Hockey East.
