"What an incredible win and a great way to send our seniors out. We have put a lot of hard work in and this is a big step in the right direction for our program heading into the off-season. I could not be prouder of the way we played not only tonight, but this entire season. We took massive strides towards becoming a winning program that is consistently in the playoffs." –Nichols head coach John Post
