Joining the NJCAA national tournament a bit late. It's scoreless with about three minutes left in the first half between Madison College, who played yesterday, and defending national champion Northeast, who are playing their first game of the tournament.

The comeback comes up short and the Madison College Wolf Pack takes its first loss of the season, 3-2. They’ll go again tomorrow at 5:30 to try and keep slim hopes of a semifinal berth alive.
