COACHES COMMENT: Head Coach Austin Huizenga. "I'm very happy with how we played," said Calvin head coach Austin Huizenga. "MSU gave us fits last year. We had a really good start in the 1st period, a rocky 2nd period and a strong 3rd period to close out the game. I'm most impressed with our 3rd period effort. Looking forward to our matchup Saturday night."
