KIRKLAND – Northwest closes out the regular season this weekend with a road trip to the College of Idaho at 5:30 p.m. on Friday and Eastern Oregon at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday.
 
Northwest heads out on the trip in ninth place in the Cascade Collegiate Conference standings, and eight teams go on to the postseason. They are two points behind Eastern Oregon and Evergreen State, and one or both of those teams will score standings points on Friday when they play each other. A win or tie against the College of Idaho on Friday will go a long way to allowing the Eagles to control their destiny on Saturday.

Northwest has 25 assists this season with 15 Eagles setting up the goals. Kyler McIntosh has four assists to lead the team, while Hopp, Misic, Noah Prophet, Jacen Stein, Angel Ventura, and Jackson Welch have two each.

Eric Hornung leads the team with 13 goals and 27 points. Caio Pereira has a team-leading five assists. Tom Baynard-Smith carries a 1.20 goals-against average into the contest.
 
Northwest is 13-9 in the College of Idaho rivalry, including a 1-0 win in Kirkland last season. NU also won on their last trip to Caldwell, 2-1, in 2020. The Eagles have a three-game winning streak in the series. 
 
In Northwest's 1-0 win against C of I last season, Gian Herrera scored the lone goal in the 27th minute with an assist from Prophet. Alexander Thiehofe got the four-save shutout for NU.
