"Senior day is a special day," said NU head coach, Gary McIntosh. "I love honoring the seniors and thanking them for everything they have given to the program. Obviously, the game did not go as we had hoped, but it was a treat to see Kyle (Zimmerman) get a goal in a season where he has been injured all year. I'm proud of all the seniors for the leadership they have provided all season. These guys will be missed."
