Quote
"This is a solid road win for the guys. There were a few mental lapses that we are working on cleaning up, but the positives outweighted the negatives tonight. I thought Hogan was excellent tonight and it was truly awesome to see Nyhus get his first collegiate goal. The kid has worked so hard and done so many of the little things for our team, so everyone was very excited for him to get on the scoresheet." -Nichols head coach Parker Burgess
