How Sweep it is... Sioux take game two 4-1...

Finally; the Fighting Sioux seal the deal and finally get a sweep for the weekend. It only took the Fighting Sioux 21 games into the season before they finally got a two game sweep and they did it in impressive style holding MTU to 2 goals on the weekend and under 20 shots both nights.

Unfortunately, I didn't see the first period and a half because I was at Altru health in urgent care with my daughter who is suffering from the croop. Sioux7 was nice enough to give me an update while I was sitting in the hospital.

I got home from the hospital just in time to turn on the television and see Chris VandeVelde score a pretty goal. Wow; did that kid have a good series or what? There were a few players that really stepped up this weekend: Chris VandeVelde had 1 goal and 2 assists for 3 points. Also, Taylor Chorney chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists for 4 points, Freshman Evan Trupp who is starting to emerge as an impact player we read about had two points on the weekend as well.

MTU is a good team that will be heard from before the season is over, I would not want to have to play them in the WCHA playoffs.
