Last night, the Montana State University Bobcats secured a commanding 4-1 victory over the University of Wyoming Pokes at the Haynes Pavilion. The game, which took place on February 7, 2026, was a showcase of the Bobcats’ defensive prowess and offensive efficiency.
Despite being outshot by the Pokes 55-35, the Bobcats managed to make their shots count. The Pokes, on the other hand, struggled to find the back of the net, with Bobcats’ goalie Reese Mcconnell making an impressive 54 saves on 55 shots. Pokes’ goalie Pudgie Sabinash, despite facing fewer shots, managed to save only 31 of the 35 shots he faced.
Neither team was able to capitalize on their powerplays, with the Pokes going 0 for 3 and the Bobcats failing to convert on their 4 opportunities. However, the Bobcats’ superior goal scoring proved decisive in the end.
The scorers for the night were Pokes’ #2 Zoey Brown and Bobcats’ #26 Nicola Roberts, each netting a goal for their respective teams. However, it was the Bobcats who had the last laugh, scoring three more goals to seal the victory.
