The Montana State University Bobcats showcased their prowess on home ice last night with a decisive 4-1 victory over the Colorado State University Rams. The game took place at the Haynes Pavilion on January 23rd, 2026, and saw the Bobcats outmaneuver the Rams despite having fewer shots on goal.

The Rams fired off an impressive 39 shots, but the Bobcats’ goalie, Reese McConnell, proved to be a formidable barrier, making a staggering 38 saves. On the other side of the ice, the Rams’ goalie, Morgan Neibauer, managed 29 saves out of the 33 shots from the Bobcats.

The Bobcats demonstrated their defensive strength by successfully fending off all four of the Rams’ powerplay attempts. Despite having fewer powerplay opportunities, the Bobcats also failed to convert their two chances into goals.

The game’s scorers included Elan Forde of the Rams and Aziana Schacht of the Bobcats, each contributing one goal to their respective teams’ tallies. Schacht’s goal was particularly crucial in maintaining the Bobcats’ lead and momentum throughout the game.
