What Ryan did this week: Grothaus scored with just 22 seconds remaining in the second half to give NKU a dramatic 3-2 victory over Missouri S&T in the quarterfinal round of the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament. It was the fourth goal of the season for Grothaus, who has become a key part of the NKU attack as the Norse push for their first GLVC title since 1995.

Up next: Grothaus and the Norse travel to Springfield, Mo. to face Lewis on Friday in the GLVC Tournament semifinal. With a victory, NKU will advance to the GLVC Championship on Sunday against the winner of the Drury-Bellarmine match.
