Quote
"It's always fun to be able to get additional guys quality matches. Today, seniors Stuart, Kiril, Ivanov, and Chardon really lead the way. In addition to our seniors we had some young guys step in and play a key role. Enrico and Lane, our first years, were dynamite. To me the best showing of the day was transfer Dallaire, in a rematch he was able to avenge his loss from earlier this season in a great three set win. Our group seems to be pretty locked in as we hit the final portion of the conference schedule. Hopefully, we can keep this level up over the next couple of weeks and into the playoffs." –Nichols head coach
