Here is what Coach Sorby had to say about the win "tonight was a great night to shake off the frustrating loss to NDSCS yesterday. I thought we executed well as a team on both ends; everyone got in the game and in the scorebook. Our focus after a hot start was to continue to play to our standards as we have two challenges later this week. We now turn our attention to Lake Region State on Wednesday night. It will certainly be a challenge for us especially with such a short turnaround, but these guys are always up for a challenge."

With the win the Jacks improve to 3-3 overall. DCB is back in action Wednesday at Lake Region State College game time is set for 8:30p.m.
