Here is the latest from press conference Wednesday.
GRAND FORKS, N.D. -- With the men's and women's basketball teams on the road, it was a shorter media day than most on the University of North Dakota campus.
The main talk centered around the upcoming men's hockey series at Minnesota this weekend. The Fighting Sioux have had success in recent years at Mariucci Arena, but with no games there last season, only eight UND student-athletes have made the trip.
"They know how it's going to be," senior Chris VandeVelde said of the freshmen and sophomore classes. "They just have to stay level-headed and go in there ready to play."
Among the Fighting Sioux making a first trip to Mariucci will be sophomore Jason Gregoire, who was recently named WCHA Co-Offensive Player of the Week after scoring 4 goals (2 game-winners) last weekend.
"Both games will be big battles," Gregoire said.
Sophomore defenseman Corey Fienhage will get the chance to play in front of his hometown in his first roadtrip to Mariucci. "They tell us it's a fun place to play," Fienhage said, "and I'm really excited to play there."
