Forest City, IA- The Waldorf Warriors showed tremendous resilience and heart in their GPAC matchup against #8 Northwestern (IA), but despite a strong second-half comeback, they fell short in a 101-80 defeat on Tuesday night.

Northwestern is a good team and we are in a really good league. We just have to sustain the fight from tonight and be ready to go again Saturday."
