MSU won the physical and sometimes violent series with a combined score of 14-1. The Ice Bears won Game 1 10-1, and held Missouri scoreless with a 4-0 shutout in Game 2. The low scoring on Missouri’s part was made possible by superior goaltending from senior goalies Justin Davis and Mitch Fernsler.
“Our goalies have been stellar over the last two or three years,” head coach Bob Bucher said. “Everything is a team effort, but without them, we wouldn’t be where we are.”
The final score of Game 1 resembled a blowout, but it started out with a display of defense and goaltending from both teams.
