Sioux 6 Huskies 1


The game was what we thought it would be tonight, the Huskies have won 4 games the entire season and the first period was a close hard fought period of gritty hockey as the Huskies goaltender Kevin Genoe was rock solid turning back 17 shots, however, hockey is a game of three periods.

In the Second period, the Fighting Sioux’s fortunes changed as the Sioux starting cashing in on the Huskies miscues and turnovers and blew the doors off of the MTU Huskies by scoring three in the second period and then getting two more goals in the third period to run away with a 6-1 win.

Being nothing short of amazing Fighting Sioux senior forward Matt Frattin was a man among boys as he scored a goal and three assists. I know I am biased and I get to see Frattin play every weekend, but I have not seen another player dominate like Frattin has this season. I have to say that Frattin is the player of the year in the WCHA, I think the race for that award has pretty much been decided already. With the Four points Frattin has (28g-18a-46) points and barring injury or an unseen absence Frattin should break the fifty point threshold soon.

Andrew MacWilliam leaves game in second period

With the win tonight UND UND wins MacNaughton Cup outright and is the number one seed in the WCHA. There is some concern for Sophomore defenseman Andrew MacWilliam, who left the game during in the second period and did not return, as of right now it’s not known what happened to MacWillam and there are no details on the reason MacWilliam left the game at this time, speculation is that there is a "possibly injury" maybe, I am sure we will hear more tomorrow. I will write more tomorrow during the morning.
