Quote
"We are hyped to be 5-1! Earning another clean sheet on the year with this win is great for our team. The urgency and energy that we brought in the second half was a great change. That energy spurt was lead by Mel and Taylor. These two players showcased some great pressure and dynamic runs forward, to give life to our front line. We got to move some people around today in some different positions and find some new combinations through the midfield and up-top. We are excited and looking forward to our next game at home against Becker on Thursday!" -Nichols head coach
