The Fighting Sioux played their most complete game of the season and scored two goals in a 14 second span to beat the formerly top ranked Colorado College Tigers. Well, that is assuming that the pollsters knock them out of top spot. I think BU will be the number one team in the country come Monday afternoon.
The Sioux out played the Tigers all night long and made timely smart defensive plays when they were needed. Both teams combined were an awful 0-12 on the power play.
Leading the Fighting Sioux were Brent Davidson and Brett Hextall who scored their first goals of the their college careers. Rookie goalie Brad Eidsness improved to 3-2-0 on the season. Eidness also lowered his goals against average to 3.0033 and raised his save percentage .896 percent.
Some Positive
Brad Eidsness keeps improving with every game and has a 3-1 record in his last 4 games.
The Sioux defense only game up one goal against the top ranked team in the country while scoring three goals on the all American goalie Richard Bachman.
