Said
Gary McIntosh, NU head coach, "I'm really pleased with how we played the game today. The guys got after it right from the beginning and didn't let up. Our defense did a good job limiting their scoring chances and we did enough offensively to get three goals. It's always nice to win on the road in our conference."
