UNHEARD OF
The Marauders have posted plenty of impressive stats this season but possibly none more impressive then what occurred during their second game against UND. The Marauders won the game 9-0 and had NINE different players score a goal. Now that's called teamwork!
 
NOT IN OUR HOUSE
The Marauders have the luxury of having not one but two dominant forces in the net. Aarson Nelson is 8-1 on the season and boasts a .959 save percentage. The former NCAA Division I goalie at Minnesota State University has only allowed 11 goals to sneak past him thus far in the season while stopping the other 256 attempts. Nelson has three shutouts on the season. Lance Knudson has is an undefeated 7-0 on the season. He has only allowed in nine goals so far this season, stopping the other 155 attempts for a save percentage of .945. Knudson has two shutouts on the season.
 
GOAL….GOAL…GOAL
The goal horn has become a familiar sound when the Marauders are on the ice this season. The team is averaging over five goals per game. The Marauders have had 16 players score so far this season. Alex Flicek has averaged a goal per game this season recording a Marauders season high with 16 goals. Andrew Huber right behind him with 13 goals. Flicek recorded a goal in both games against the defending national champs while Kyler Moore knocked in a goal during the first game and Jakob Parisien slapped a goal past the keeper in the second game.
 
TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK
 Teamwork is the name of the game for the Marauders. All 18 Marauders have recorded at least one assist on the season. Marshall Tschida leads all Marauders with 16 assists on the season. Zachery Garrett is second on the team in assists posting 12. Drew Lenertz hit the double digits mark against Montana State, bumping his season total up to ten assists. Ben Kottmeier is nearing that double digit mark, currently sitting at nine assists on the season.
 
TO BE THE BEST YOU'VE GOT TO BEAT THE BEST
The Marauders possibly have one of the hardest schedules in the country. The Marauders faced the defending champs and winners of three of the last six championships, Florida Gulf Coast this past weekend. UMary proved they are a force to be wrecking with shutting out the FGCU 2-0 in the first game. They fell 4-2 in the second game of the weekend. In their first twelve games on the season, the Marauders have faced six teams who ranked in the top eleven of the ACHA Division II West region last season. Some of the Marauders notable victories against ACHA powerhouses were beating #1 in the west, Northern Arizona by a score of 3-2. The Marauders took down #2 in the west, Utah State by a score of 5-1. The Marauders also took down the third best team in the west, Northern Colorado by a score of 5-2. The Marauders certainly have positioned themselves to be a powerhouse in the ACHA.
 
GOT FANS?
Got fans? The Marauders sure do! The Marauders have received an incredible amount of support from the community, so much so that they completely packed the house, where even standing room was hard to come by in their first home game of the season. The Marauders look to continue to use the energy from the crowd to make their home ice one of the most difficult places to play in the country.
