QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH BRIAN YOUNG
"The guys responded well today. We did create 9-10 scoring chances against Rogers State in the first half, but were unable to score on Thursday. Today, we were able to finish better to get the 3-1 win. Newman is a good team and a tough place to play, so I was very proud of the effort and desire throughout the whole game."
