In a thrilling hockey match at the Haynes Pavilion on January 16th, 2026, the Montana State University Bobcats emerged victorious over the University of Utah Utes with a final score of 3-2.

The game was a nail-biter, with both teams exhibiting stellar performances. The Utes took 40 shots while the Bobcats had 42. Despite the Utes’ vigorous efforts, their powerplay remained unfruitful at 0/4. On the other hand, the Bobcats managed to convert one of their four powerplays into a goal, proving to be a crucial turning point in the game.

The Utes’ goalie, Miranda De Antunano, put up a commendable performance by saving 39 out of 42 shots. However, the Bobcats’ Reese Mcconnell outshone her by saving 38 out of 40 shots.

The Utes’ #25 Cassandra Haley scored a goal, but it was Bobcats’ #9 Grace Cheney who stole the show with her two assists, contributing significantly to the Bobcats’ victory.

The Bobcats are looking forward to carrying this winning momentum into their next game, which is a home game against the University of Utah. The match is scheduled for Saturday, January 17th at the Haynes Pavilion. Be sure to come out and support our Bobcats as they continue their quest for victory.
