UNHEARD OF x2
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. If it wasn't impressive enough to do it once, they did it yet again against the University of Colorado. In their 9-0 win against the Buffalo, NINE different Marauders scored. 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. Aaron Nelson is 9-1 on the season and boasts a .962 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 275 attempts. Nelson has four shutouts on the season. Lance Knudson is an undefeated 8-0 on the season. He has only allowed in nine goals so far this season, stopping the other 169 attempts for a save percentage of .949. Knudson has three shutouts on the season.
 
GOAL….GOAL…GOAL

Alex Flicek has averaged a goal per game this season recording a Marauders season high with 18 goals. Andrew Huber is right behind him with 16 goals.

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 21 assists on the season. Zachery Garrett is second on the team in assists posting 15. Drew Lenertz is at 12 assists. Jakob Parisien (12), Benjamin Kottmeier (10) and Phillip Silveria (10) all hit double digit assists on the season over the past weekend against University of Colorado.
 
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. 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.
