From Coach Cottage - On last night's win over Northwestern
"Very excited for the boys to get their first win. Northwestern are a very strong team with some great success in recent years. We pushed the intensity from the first minute and didn't let up until the final whistle, Scoring four goals on the road against a good team is tough. I was extremely impressed in our response when Northwestern tied the match on those two occasions. Incredible effort to gut out this victory from a group that is still far from their potential."
