Quote
"Today we lost to a well conditioned, smart, and physical NEWMAC team. We competed with them for most of the game but had a few breakdowns that hurt us in the end. We will watch this film and learn from our mental and physical mistakes and be ready to compete hard at home on Saturday against another NEWMAC team." -Nichols head coach MaryLynn Skarzenski
