Portage Terrier forward Nolan Nenow and defenceman Grant Dardis have committed to Augsberg University (NCAA DIV III) for next season.
Dardis, who hails from Mahtomedi, MN, is looking forward to playing next season closer to home. “I’ve committed to Augsberg University (NCAA DIV III) and I think they have a great hockey program. I’m focusing on a business degree. Also the location is great with it being close to home and good academics. It was an easy choice.”
Joining the team last year, Dardis had 40 points through 110 games in his career. This year he really stepped up in the playoffs and was named the Terriers’ Top Playoff Performer.
“It’s been unreal here in Portage. I couldn’t ask for anything better. I think with the community here, the support, the coaches, and staff and how much they care. You can’t ask for anything better.”
Nenow, who is from Jamestown, ND, will be playing a bit further from home, but is looking forward to city life. “I’m undecided as to what I’m going to study. Likely business and or potentially chiropractic,” says Nenow.
In two seasons with the Terriers, Nenow put up 94 points in 106 games. Off the ice he spent many hours giving back to Portage and won the Terriers’ Community Spirit Award.
“It’s been the best two years of my life here in Portage. It’s been the best decision to come here. From day one I was welcomed in like a family, and I wouldn’t change it for anything.”
Good Luck at Augsburg guys!
