COACHES COMMENT: "I was happy overall with our performance tonight," said Calvin head coach Josh Petrusma. "We had some unlucky moments and Northwood creates quality moments throughout as well. That said, I was proud of how we bounced back each time. We showed grit and resolve all night long. Now comes a huge test for us tomorrow evening as we head to Northwood. We lost there last year and they are even tougher at home. We're looking forward to the opportunity."
