Archived: Huskies Spilt with #2 Pioneers
It was the same storyline for the Huskey Men’s Hockey team this weekend and it ended up being the same ending. For the second time in three weeks, the Huskies went on the road to face a WCHA opponent that was ranked second in the nation and for the second time they came away with two points after a Saturday victory.
Two weeks ago the Huskies lost by two goals in game one to #2 North Dakota but won the second game by a goal to earn a spilt. This weekend the Huskies went on the road to play #2 Denver and after a Friday lose by the score of 5-3, the Huskies rebounded with a 3-2 win to earn two points on the weekend.
Ryan Lasch had goals in each game this weekend to extend his point streak to six games while Tony Mosey collected two goals on Saturday (and game winner) to push the Huskies pass another ranked team.
Mike Lee got the start on Friday night and made 24 saves on 29 shots while Dan Dunn allowed two goals on 28 shots.
The Huskies are now through the half way point of a tough five-series stretch that has seen them play three ranked opponents and will play another in two weeks at home in Colorado College. Up next for the Huskies that are currently in a three way tie for 4th place in the WCHA, is a trip up to Anchorage, Alaska to play the Seawolves in more conference action this weekend.
