KIRKLAND – Northwest bounced right back into the win column Saturday with a 2-0 shutout of Northwest Christian.

Kyle Han put the game on ice in the 88^th minute, using a double assist from Noah Prophet and Dmitry Zorchenko for the 2-0 lead.

We are still learning to play with each other, and this is just another step in the right direction."
