In a thrilling display of hockey, the Montana State University Bobcats emerged victorious over the University of Wyoming Pokes with a final score of 4-1. The game, held at the Haynes Pavilion on February 7th, 2026, was a testament to the Bobcats’ tenacity and skill on the ice.

Despite the Pokes outshooting the Bobcats 55 to 35, Montana State’s stellar defensive play and the exceptional performance by goalie Reese McConnell, who saved 54 of 55 shots, kept the Pokes at bay. Pudgie Sabinash, the Pokes’ goalie, managed to save 31 of 35 shots.

The Pokes’ only goal came from #2, Zoey Brown, while the Bobcats’ #26, Nicola Roberts, contributed to the Bobcats’ victory with a goal. Both teams struggled with their powerplay, with the Pokes going 0/3 and the Bobcats 0/4.

The Bobcats will carry this momentum into their next game at home against the University of Utah on February 20th at the CU Boulder Rec Center Ice Rink. The Bobcats’ fans are already buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be another exciting match.
