For the first time in 92 days, after customary stick taps to thank the home crowd at the Steve ‘Coach’ Cady Arena, Miami hockey skated off the ice to a victorious rendition of the fight song on Saturday night.
The RedHawks defeated the University of Nebraska Omaha Mavericks 4-2 to snap a 15-game winless streak and nine-game losing streak.
“It feels awesome,” senior forward Josh Melnick said. “We missed this feeling a little bit. [It] definitely feels good to be back in the win column.”
For the first time in 13 games, the RedHawks (10-16-4, 4-12-2 National Collegiate Hockey Conference) scored the first goal and didn’t look back.
