After an 11 day layoff due to weather issues, the Cougars play five games in eight days. ‘It’s been a tough week, because we had a game on Wednesday, one today, then we have Saturday, Monday and Wednesday again,” MCC Coach Alex Calpa said after the game. “They are all division games that we need to win or it could get rough.”
