OXFORD, Ohio -

Miami head coach Enrico Blasi and freshmen goalies Connor Knapp and Cody Reichard meet with the Media on Thursday.

Miami head coach Enrico Blasi
On the freshmen goalies
"Our main goal as a team has been to get better every day and you can really see that in this team. They are continuing to grow and they are making some solid adjustment and they are really starting to gain some confidence."

On the team
"Cody (Reichard) has been great, Connor (Knapp) has been great and they have both executed well. That is the main thing that you have to do whether you are goaltender, a forward or a defenseman is you have to execute on the ice and I think top to bottom we done a good job of that so far."

On splitting time with Cody Reichard
"I like it. As a freshman you get to know going into the weekend exactly what your job is and you have to go out and take care of business one night. It is really the fair way to do things as long as we both continue to play well."

On his freshman year
"I am really starting to gain some confidence in net and I think I'm starting to play better. I feel more relaxed on the ice and I think it shows in the way that I have been playing."

Cody Reichard

Cody Reichard, Freshman goalie
On the Notre Dame series
"They are a good team and we knew it was going to be a battle. They got some really good attempts on me and I was able to make some saves and my defensemen were able to stop a couple of really good chances that they had, it was a real team effort on both nights."

On Alaska
"When I was playing juniors up there I never got to see a game. Most of the time they would have us out of town when they (the Nanooks) were in town. I know they (Alaska) are a good team though and they have some forwards they are really solid up front."
