Sioux 5 Beavers 2


The Fighting Sioux have played the BSU Beavers three times this season and in each game the score has been an identical 5-2 verdict. One might say that each game has been like ground hog day, same score all over again. In each game Matt Frattin has been on a torrid pace as well, it's almost like it's personal, it's like he sees read against the Beavers.

After watching the game this afternoon, I would imagine that the Bemidji State University Beavers would be happy to never see Fighting Sioux senior forward Matt Frattin again, counting the two goals that Frattin scored this afternoon against the BSU Beavers, Frattin now has (6g-1a-7pts) on the season against the BSU Beavers. Matt Frattin with the two goals today has (26g-14a-40pts) on the season and is one point short of reaching the hundred point mark of his NCAA career (54g-45a-99pts).

Jason Gregoire has also been hot against the Beavers this season as the junior forward has scored an impressive(4g-0a-4pts) against the BSU Beavers in three games. Gregoire has also been hot recently for the Fighting Sioux since returning from his mid season injury as Gregoire has a nine game point streak where he has gone an impressive (9g-7a-16pts), with the two goals today Gregoire now has (48g-48a-96) for his career and is four points shy of the century mark as well...If the Fighting Sioux can continue getting consistent scoring from all four forward lines the Fighting Sioux will be hard to beat during the WCHA and NCAA playoffs.

Balanced scoring

With Mario Lamoureux recording an assist today the Fighting Sioux now have twelve players with 10 or more points, the Fighting Sioux also have 7 players with twenty or more points, four of which have thirty or more points… So the Sioux are getting balanced scoring through the forward lines. The UND Fighting Sioux lead the WCHA with Goals score with 90 and have a game in hand on the rest of the league.
