Any time you play Winona, it's a great thing for you because you're going to be tested. They're better than us athletically at every position. You could put all five of Winona's starters on the first-team (all-NSIC) and you couldn't really argue it. They're that good.

We had a great crowd tonight, and everyone paid. There were no passes for anyone tonight because it was a conference event. And if we hit 70,000 for a season, that is pretty remarkable. Everyone here at Northern really appreciates our fans. They are the best.

In the games we've lost, our problem has been that our offense creates offense for the other team when we turn the ball over. We need to do a better job of taking care of the ball.
