COACHES COMMENT: Interim Head Coach Josh Petrusma, "Some untimely penalties, two of them we couldn't have done anything about, but the other one was an unwise reactionary penalty. Outside of that, our discipline tonight was far better than last night. We were looking to rebound, and I'm proud of the team to be able to turn that around and look like the team we've been all season. Last night was a blip in the radar, and so now we're back on track, and I honestly thought it might have been our most complete game of the year."
 
NEXT UP: Calvin's next game will be against Davenport University at home. The game will be on Friday February 14th at 5:30 p.m.
