COACH'S COMMENTS
"We knew this game was going to be gritty," said head coach Dennis Currier. "It's a midweek game and our focus is on the conference. I thought the guys did really well just grinding the game out. We knew NKU would come in here and battle really hard and they did. But we found two goals and got the win tonight. Overall it was another great win here at Baujan. Everything is on the line now these last three games. They all have huge meaning and we haven't done well on the road. We have to recover tonight and really start to focus in on this weekend's game because we have to get those three points."

UP NEXT
  • The Flyers head back out on the road and return to Atlantic 10 action on Saturday, Oct. 14 at George Mason for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
