RIVER FOREST, Ill. -- After dropping a 1-0 grudge match to the Rockford Regents on Wednesday, the Cougars will look to bounce back with a NACC win at Marian University tomorrow afternoon.

Last Time Out: The Cougars were blanked by Rockford University earlier this week in a one-goal game. A sequence around the 23rd minute of play sparked some offensive play when freshman Fabian Aranda crossed the ball to Gerardo Medina who just missed and sent a header off the crossbar. At the 58-minute mark, the Regents beat three defenders to net the lone goal of the game, and hold off the Cougars for the remainder of the match to win 1-0.
