Not many folks thought expected what they saw in Flagstaff on Saturday afternoon. Why would they? The home team, after all, had yet to win a game this season and the visitors from Montana had yet to lose. Sure, the Grizzlies had struggled in a few of their victories but Northern Arizona had shown no signs of doing anything notable this season. It was the Lumberjacks, though, that flipped the script to pick up their first win of the 2023 season.
Early on it seemed as though NAU would pick up right where they left off in last week’s lopsided loss to Utah Tech.
