Fresh off a Mid-American Collegiate Hockey Association Silver Division championship win over Iowa State, Marquette hockey is riding a seven-game win streak into its regional tournament. The team will need to win two more games to advance to the Division III National Tournament in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
“A lot of people were saying Iowa State should have been ranked ahead of us,” assistant coach Peter Shutt said. “But coming out today and showing that Marquette is legit is a confidence-booster for the team, and we’re looking forward to continuing that momentum into Regionals next weekend.”
The first challenge for the Golden Eagles in their push for Nationals takes place in Lincoln, Nebraska, where they’ll play Arkansas.
