MORRIS, Minn. – The Cougars (11-12, 9-3 UMAC) have wrapped up the seconds seed in the UMAC Tournament, which begins next Wednesday but UMM will be looking for a pair of road wins to give them some momentum as they enter the post-season. Morris will take on UMAC Regular Season Champions Northwestern (14-9, 12-0 UMAC) on Friday before closing out the regular season against North Central (10-12, 6-6 UMAC) on Saturday.
