KSU drew Siena, DePaul, and Weber State in their pool, a grouping that KSU Ice Hockey Club President Jimmy Barry said boded well for the Owls chances," said Barry.
"We knew we were capable of winning our pool since Siena posed the biggest threat."
The Owls opened the tournament against Weber State, losing a 2-1 heartbreaker that would make winning the pool an uphill climb.
The next day, KSU faced off against Siena, a team that the Owls previously defeated during the regular season.
Barry knew that Siena would provide the toughest challenge in their pool, "We were convinced the winner of our game would win the pool," said Barry.

Despite the disappointing performance in Grand Rapids, Barry is proud of what his club was able to accomplish this season with a young roster.
"Making it to nationals in our second season in the ACHA Division II was a great accomplishment.
For some of the team it was their first time competing in a national tournament.
We will use this season to build on for next year as most of our team will be returning," said Barry.
