BISMARCK, ND – The University of Mary hockey team ends their seven game home stretch by hosting Montana State in a pair of games this weekend. The Marauders first take on the Bobcats on Saturday, October 12 at 7 PM. They follow that up with another game on Sunday, October 13 at 2 PM. Both games will be played on the Schwan Cadillac Rink in the Starion Sports Complex.

LAST TIME OUT

The last time the Marauders took the ice was for a dominant 5-0 record at the UMary Icebreaker. The 5-0 record included a 3-1 victory over two time defending national champs, Florida Gulf Coast. The Marauders outscored their opponents 29-4.

RECORD

The Marauders boast a 12-0 record heading into the weekend against the Bobcats.

SCORING MACHINES

The Marauders certainly know how to make the goal horn sound. UMary has recorded an impressive 65 goals on the season, averaging just over five goals per game. Seth Cushing leads the team with nine goals on the season. Right behind him is Johnny Witzke with eight. Cushing's nine goals ranks him fifth in ACHA Division II.

 

NOT IN OUR HOUSE

Lance Knudson picked up right where he left off by winning games. Knudson has started the season 7-0, recording 146 saves on the season. Kyle Haden has a 5-0 record, recording 81 saves. Knudson's seven wins leads the nation and his 146 saves is second.

 

BREAKING RECORDS

The Marauders only took two games to break a record from their first season. The Marauders recorded a program record of ten goals in their victory over NDSU in game number two.

Just a few weeks later they matched that record with a 10-0 win over Utah State. The 10 goal victory was the largest victory in program history.

 

4X MORE

The Marauders have quadrupled up their opponents in goals scored this season. UMary is outscoring their competition by a score of 65-15.

 

GOT FANS?

One thing that has not changed from last season is the tremendous amount of support the Marauders receive from the community. For the second year in a row, the Marauders won their first game of the season in front of a sold out crowd!
