"Playing our second close game in two nights really tested our toughness," said John Van Dyke, NU head coach, "but our guys rose to the occasion to pull this one out without one of our key players. We had guys step in and contribute like Tommy Jordan and Dak Shagren tonight which really gave us a lift. I'm proud of all our guys in the way they responded."
