Their Thoughts

"All the credit to Pacific for coming out and playing a great match," said head coach Jeff Cero after the match. "Not to sound cliche, but it was tight from beginning to end and could have gone either way. I'm really proud of the guys that stepped up and got it done and we are looking forward to playing them again tomorrow."

What It Means

The Bruins have leveled their season record at 3-3 overall and are perfect in Northwest Conference matchups at 3-0.
