Game Notes

— Zachary Borgiel will start his fourth straight game for the Warrior. He's expected to be opposed by Michael Hrabal, a freshman who is back from the World Juniors last week, where he won a bronze medal.

— Chase Stevenson will play in his first game of the second half tonight. He's centering Mac Welsher (who is also in the lineup after suffering an injury at Holy Cross) and Michael Citara.

— Below is the Pairwise impact of this INDIVIDUAL game. It's important to know the individual effect of these games, but it should be noted that this isn't where the Warriors will necessarily end up tonight with these results because dozens of other games across the country could affect that.
