NORTHEASTERN STATE COACH ROB CZLONKA
Statement…
"It was a great night for our team. We had seven different guys find the back of the net. I was very pleased that we got the shutout. Jackson Biles wasn't really tested much, but our back line stepped up. After a few rough performances, we really challenged our guys to step up to show not only to themselves, but to other teams and to our fans that they are a team that should be contending for the MIAA Championship and hopefully for an NCAA tournament berth. Without a doubt they proved that tonight."
