FROM THE COACH
"We are happy with the result, but I think we could have put this one away a bit sooner," said head coach Mike Boland. "We squandered some chances throughout, and allowed an inexcusable goal on a set piece. Every NACC game is important, so the three points are great. We will get after it on Monday and Tuesday to prepare for a very good Concordia-Wisconsin team."
