"After a tough five-game loss to the second-ranked team in the country last weekend, it was nice to come home for the first time this season, play in front of an awesome crowd, and get a nice conference win," Snow College head coach Jeff Reynolds said. "We've seen CNCC play a few times this season at various tournaments we've played in, and we knew they had some nice players – definitely not an opponent we could overlook."
