“I’m proud of Mike; he’s done a terrific job coming in off the bench,” said head coach Pete Fewing. “He’s a mature player, a very bright player. He’s able to look at situations, take assignments, and complete his assignments and he got two good goals against Northwestern. It’s great to have someone coming off the bench who can contribute like that.”
