QUOTEWORTHY:
"That was some of the worst weather I have seen in my coaching career. It was a really good challenge for us as we head towards the postseason. The guys could of played better but competed hard and had a great attitude about it so that is all I can ask for. We are back at it tomorrow in some more cold weather so need to rest up and be ready." -- Head coach Scott Schroeder
