NCHC
Games
Colorado
College @ # St. Cloud State.
Last weekend the Huskies swept the hapless UAH
Chargers in Huntsville (10-0, 4-3) and the Tigers lost to the Falcons (3-1) on
Tuesday evening in Colorado Springs.
The Tigers will look to move out of the NCHC
basement this weekend with a trip to St. Cloud.
But they will have a tough go of it, against a high caliber Huskies
team. The Huskies will have it a little
harder than last weekend’s games in Huntsville.
Still, SCSU has the better team.
HUSKIES SWEEP
# Miami
@ Nebraska-Omaha
Last weekend the RedHawks split (2-0W, 3-2L)
with the UW Badgers in Oxford and the Mavericks split with Michigan (3-2W,
4-3L) in Omaha.
This is series for Omaha is the end of their
gauntlet stretch (NoDak, UMich, UMiami) in November. If the Mavericks can get another split they
will be well deserving of a BIG thanksgiving dinner. The RedHawks have also split their last two
series as well. I say they both continue
on their splitting streaks. SPLIT
Non-Conference
Games
# Minnesota-Duluth
@ #1 Minnesota (Fri/Sun)
Last weekend the Bulldogs split (4-2L, 6-3W) with
NoDak in Grand Forks and the Gophers swept the Minnesota State Mavericks (4-1,
3-0) in Minneapolis.
The Bulldogs travel south down I-35 for this
weekend tilts with in-state foe the Gophers.
This will be UMD’s third weekend in a row on
the road; the Bulldogs have split their last four series. The Gophers have played a couple of quality
series (BC, ND) this season, but didn’t sweep those series. Now after this weekend the number one team in
the country has a fairly soft schedule the rest of the season. I think the Bulldogs will have another split
on their record come Sunday evening.
SPLIT
# North
Dakota @ Boston University
Last weekend NoDak split the Bulldogs (4-2W,
6-3L) in Grand Forks and the Terriers lost at Maine (7-0) and won at home
against Connecticut (4-1).
A year ago the Terries made the trip to Grand
Forks and this year NoDak travels to BU for the return games. If they could this would be a good rivalry to
keep going into the future. Both teams
are still trying to find their ways this season, winning some and losing some. I think it continues on for both in
Boston. SPLIT
Michigan
State vs Western Michigan
Last weekend the Broncos were swept by the
Pioneers (5-3, 1-0) in Denver, and the Spartans were swept by Michigan Tech
(3-0, 3-2ot) in Houghton.
The Broncos are on four game winless streak and
will be looking to right the ship this weekend against an in-state foe. The Spartans are winless on the road, so this
home and home series might be what the doctor ordered. I’m taking the home team, teams. SPLIT
Air
Force vs Denver
Last weekend the Falcons beat the CC Tigers (3-1)
and the Pioneers swept the WMU Broncos (5-3, 1-0) in Denver.
The Pioneer have won three in a row and are
undefeated in four games. Now they start
playing a lot more road games, six out of the next seven are away from Magness
Arena.
