In a thrilling showdown at the Haynes Pavilion, the Montana State University Bobcats emerged victorious over the University of Wyoming Pokes with a final score of 4-1. The game held on February 7, 2026, saw the Bobcats showcasing their exceptional defensive skills and strategic play.

The Pokes put up a fierce fight, firing off 55 shots, but the Bobcats’ goalie, Reese McConnell, proved to be a formidable wall. McConnell made an impressive 54 saves, allowing only a single goal by Pokes’ #2, Zoey Brown.

On the other side, the Bobcats made the most of their 35 shots. Nicola Roberts, wearing #26 for the Bobcats, managed to find the back of the net, contributing to the team’s decisive win. Despite the Pokes’ goalie, Pudgie Sabinash, making 31 saves, the Bobcats’ relentless attack proved too much to handle.

Both teams struggled with powerplays, with the Pokes going 0/3 and the Bobcats 0/4. However, this didn’t affect the overall outcome as the Bobcats maintained their lead throughout the game.

The Bobcats are looking to carry this momentum into their next game, which will be a home match against the University of Utah. The game is scheduled for Friday, February 20, at the CU Boulder Rec Center Ice Rink in Colorado. We look forward to another exciting game from the Bobcats as they continue their winning streak.
