In an exhilarating face-off, the Montana State University Bobcats triumphed over the Grand Canyon University Antelopes with a score of 3-2. The game, which took place at AZ Ice Arcadia on the 1st of February, saw the Bobcats proving their mettle despite being heavily outshot.
The Antelopes dominated the game in terms of shots, with a whopping 55 attempts on goal. However, Bobcats’ goalie, Reese Mcconnell, put up an outstanding performance, saving a remarkable 53 of those shots. This was in stark contrast to the Antelopes’ goalie, Sydney Fornwald, who, despite facing only 23 shots, could only manage 20 saves.
The Bobcats showed their prowess in powerplay, successfully converting 2 out of 4 opportunities. The Antelopes, on the other hand, could only convert one of their three powerplay chances.
