Alec Gern once again led the way for Carthage with four goals in the game while Jake Westland, Ben Krok, and Andrew Frey all had two goals.

Sam Wallace led the Firebirds in caused turnovers with five while Jake Williamson made 11 saves in goal for Carthage.

"Great team win today, and really tough turn around. I think we ran out of gas early in this one, but we played possession lacrosse, which made it difficult for NCC all over the field. Williamson was great in the pipes, and all our poles and SS were bought in and locked in. NCC didn't have their top guy in cage, but Karnehm was a High School All-American, and I thought we got smarter in our shooting as the match went on. And made enough to pull away by chipping away. Great back-to-back wins, and we will get back to work after Easter and focused on the playoffs."
