The Montana State University Bobcats delivered an impressive performance on February 7th, 2026, at Haynes Pavilion, with a final score of 4-1 against the University of Wyoming Pokes. Despite being outshot 55 to 35, the Bobcats demonstrated superior defensive skills that ultimately secured their victory.

The Pokes, although having more shots on goal, could not capitalize on their powerplay opportunities, going 0/3. The Bobcats, on the other hand, also failed to convert their powerplay chances, finishing the game with a 0/4 record.

In the goalie showdown, Bobcats’ Reese McConnell outshone his counterpart, Pudgie Sabinash of the Pokes. McConnell made a whopping 54 saves out of 55 shots, while Sabinash could only manage 31 saves out of 35 shots.

The goals of the game came from Pokes’ #2 Zoey Brown and Bobcats’ #26 Nicola Roberts, both scoring one goal each. However, it was the Bobcats who had the last laugh, scoring three more goals to secure their victory.

The Bobcats will look to carry this momentum into their next game, which is a home game against the University of Utah. The game is scheduled for Friday, February 20th, at the CU Boulder Rec Center Ice Rink in Colorado. Stay tuned for more exciting Bobcats hockey action!
