This was a disappointing second game for the Eagles, who hoped to finish out their season-opening home tournament well.
 
Northwest head coach Ken Crawford remarked, "This was a tough loss tonight against a very good team from Great Falls.  We continue to gain experience that will make us a better team during the season.  We are excited about the possibilities."
