  "We're disappointed by the loss today as we missed a few opportunities, but this doesn't diminish the day of honoring three very special seniors," said Bryan Chud NU head coach. Ashlee Evanger, Brianna Sillivan and Winter Wirkkala have given so much to this program and meant so much to all of us. We wish them nothing but the best in their days ahead."
