"We knew going in to tonight's match that Corban was a terrific team with very few weaknesses and tonight they were the better team in every phase of the game so all the credit goes to them," said Steven Bain, NU head coach. "It's still early, though and our group will bounce back. As I told the team after the match, win or lose, nothing changes.  You still have to get back in the gym, focus forward and continue to work hard so that the next time you take the court you will be better prepared."
