Minnesota 2, Michigan State 1: Our long national nightmare is over, the Gophers finally have a statement win. After giving up 6 on Friday to Michigan, the Gophers switched to Kent Patterson and he may have taken the job for good as he made 37 saves in the victory. Jordan Schroeder and Mike Carman had [...]

Bemidji State 3, Miami 2: It was a re-match of last year’s national semifinal, but this time the Beavers came out on top. The Beavers scored the first two goals of the game, but Miami’s Carter Camper showed why he is a force to be reckoned with with back to back goals coming just 4 [...]

Bowling Green 4, Michigan 2: Sucks might be a little strong, but something is definitely not right in Ann Arbor.

A year ago, Michigan State suffered through one of the worst years in the history of their program. They fell a long way from winning the 2007 national title, as they won just 10 games in 2008-09. Even though they had one of the best goalies in the country in Jeff Lerg, they still had [...]
