"This one was a long time coming for our group. They practice hard, have positive attitudes, and come to the rink every day with the intention to get better. They were rewarded tonight. This was a complete team effort. We checked hard, received great goaltending, and executed when we had our opportunities. I'm happy for the boys. If we continue to bring this kind of effort, we will continue to be rewarded." –Nichols head coach Parker Burgess
