Quote
"Today was a great showing from top to bottom. I think we played at our highest level to date and it was by far our most complete match of the season. We had a number of standout performances today but Blake's play at the No. 1 spot was excellent. Tomorrow is a really tough test against a quality opponent who is about to make the jump to division one and we're all looking forward to the opportunity." -Nichols head coach
