This weekend, two top ten NCAA teams faced off in what was bound to be an explosive matchup. After a tight Friday night, the SCSU Huskies gave UND their first loss as the Fighting Hawks.
When the University of North Dakota Fighting Hawks came to St. Cloud this past weekend, they did so as the #4 college hockey team in the country. Their hosts, the #7 St. Cloud State Huskies, knew what to expect. The Fighting Hawks' game plan has been essentially the same throughout the season: stout, capable defense and goaltending will feed the explosive offense. Players like Drake Caggiula, Nick Schmaltz and the current leader in the "Who is being written about too much by Jack" race Brock Boeser are so productive on offense that everything else becomes peripheral and simple.
