The first Bison goal was struck in by freshman Niah Samboy who also assisted on the Bison's second goal scored by graduate student Meghan Dunn, her team leading sixth of the season.

Quote
"Coming in at 6-1 rolling into conference play is a GREAT start for this team.  We battled and were gritty today on the field.  Although we couldn't get one in the first half it was great to see the players respond to a few of the halftime coaching points and make some adjustments.  We were excited to see this team battle and remain resilient coming back with another goal after Becker got one.  Full team effort today, we have a good thing going here and we are hyped to play at Curry Saturday.  It's been a fun week with three matches on our plate.  We have people stepping up in big ways on the field and off the bench alike." -Nichols head coach Karen Gurnon
