Said NU head coach, Gary McIntosh after the game, "It's always tough to lose, but the Corban team we played tonight is a very good team and we have nothing to be ashamed of. I'm proud of the guys for what they have accomplished this season and for how we played tonight. We had four seniors who's season ended tonight and that is always tough. They will certainly be missed. The team will learn from their experiences this season and we will get back to work soon looking towards next season."
