DIXON – Carlos Gallardo was nervous. Not because his Sterling Golden Warriors were down a goal early at A.C. Bowers Field against a pesky Dixon squad.

He was anxious because his last trip to that pitch ended with him breaking his collarbone while scoring a goal last season. But Thursday night, he managed to score the early equalizer and add another, both scot free, in Sterling's 6-1 Northern Illinois Big 12 West victory over the Dukes (6-9-1, 2-5-1).

"I just wanted to score and get some revenge pretty much," Gallardo said. "I just wanted to get them back for what they did."
