COACHES COMMENT: "Credit to Northwood, they came out and were ready to answer Wednesday night. We got an early lead and they responded right away. It's hard to beat a team four times in a season, especially a good team like Northwood. I was really happy with our 3rd period, we just couldn't find an equalizer. I'm very proud of our group for the first semester we had, and can't wait to get the second semester going!"
