HEAR FROM COACH NIKOLIC
"A very solid team performance today. It was great to keep a clean sheet on defense. We were able to control much of the possession and execute a lot of what we worked on this week. It's nice to have a little extra rest with only one game this week and some momentum as we go into the second half of conference play."

STATWORTHY
The Rangers outshot the Pride 15-4, with nine shots being on target. No assists were credited to the Rangers for their three goals. Kelsey Gross earned the shutout in goal with four saves.
