Duluth is the best team we've played this year. They play a really heavy style that we're not used to playing against, said coach Greg Carvel, whose UMass team will play St. Cloud State for the national championship on Saturday. For two periods we struggled with it. I don't know if frustration is the right word, but what we usually do just wasn't working. So after the second period, I really urged the players to realize that it's going to take more, and I thought the kids did a great job in the third period.
