QUOTABLE
"Western Washington is the juggernaut of the GNAC and one of the top teams in the region and country," CWU Head Coach Michael Farrand said.  "That's who we have to measure ourselves against.  We have been really good lately on concentrating on who we are.  We've had to play a little unorthodox for who we are, but we have gotten the results.  The game against Northwest Nazarene was very good and if you look at our play since Simon Fraser, we have grown our game out.  We will have to find a few new ways to do things against Western.  If we get one or two good chances and they go in, it can change the game."
