In a thrilling display of hockey, the Montana State University Bobcats secured a decisive 4-1 victory over the University of Wyoming Pokes on February 7th, 2026. The exhilarating match took place at the Haynes Pavilion, where the Bobcats demonstrated superior control and strategy.
Despite the Pokes taking more shots at the goal (55 compared to the Bobcats’ 35), the Bobcats’ defensive prowess was on full display. Their goalie, Reese McConnell, made an impressive 54 saves, allowing only a single goal from Pokes’ #2, Zoey Brown. On the other end, Pokes’ goalie Pudgie Sabinash managed 31 saves.
The Bobcats’ #26, Nicola Roberts, also scored a notable goal, contributing to the team’s resounding victory. Both teams struggled with their powerplay, with the Pokes at 0/3 and the Bobcats at 0/4, but this did not dampen the Bobcats’ triumphant performance.
The next game for the Bobcats will be a home game against the University of Utah. The match is scheduled for Friday, February 20th at 7:30 pm MST, at the CU Boulder Rec Center Ice Rink in Colorado. The Bobcats will be looking to continue their winning streak and bring the same energy and strategy they displayed against the Pokes.
