The Montana State University Bobcats skated to a decisive 4-1 victory over the University of Wyoming Pokes in a thrilling game at Haynes Pavilion on February 7, 2026. Despite being outshot 55-35, the Bobcats demonstrated superior netminding and scoring efficiency to secure the win.

Pudgie Sabinash, the Pokes’ goalie, faced 35 shots and managed to save 31, but it wasn’t enough to stop the relentless Bobcats. On the other end of the ice, Reese McConnell put on a stellar performance for the Bobcats, saving an impressive 54 out of 55 shots.

In a game where both teams’ powerplays were ineffective, the Bobcats’ Nicola Roberts (#26) and the Pokes’ Zoey Brown (#2) both found the back of the net. However, it was the Bobcats who came out on top with a three-goal lead.

The Bobcats will look to carry this momentum into their next game, a home match against the University of Utah on February 20 at the CU Boulder Rec Center Ice Rink. With this win, the Bobcats have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with on the ice.
