Graham Local is 8-2 against Northwestern since May of 2018 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Wednesday. The Falcons will welcome the Warriors at 5:30 p.m.

The Warriors haven't had any issues with the Hillclimbers recently, as the game was their third consecutive win against them.
