Early loss stings, Jacks rebound to take third
Despite hitting their stride at the beginning of the spring semester, going 11-2, the Jacks season ended in further disappointment, with an early loss in the GPCHA and finishing 3rd. The Jacks were host to the GPCHA tourney this last weekend and had a chance to null the pain after being bumped from a national tournament invite.
Hockey club tweaks game for tourney
The way to the nationals lost, and their conference tourney next weekend, the Jacks had one last stop to make with a weekend series against Minnesota State-Mankato. In the last regular season series the Jacks matched up well against their toughest opponents of the season, barely missing on Friday 8-7 and taking Saturday’s game 5-3.
Hockey hopes dead, rival suffers
Going into a weekend with one’s fiercest, bloodiest rivals a coach may always be hesitant about delivering bad news. A coach never can guess how a team will take it. But on Friday night the team received news that their national tournament berth was dead. On Saturday the Jacks unleashed on rival Dordt a 6-1 embarrassment that saw Dordt, ranked #17 in the region of the ACHA national standings, only getting off 12 shots all game as they were being man-handled by the Jackrabbit club.
Hockey’s DI potential
Hypothetically speaking, we need to put serious thought into the future of athletics here at SDSU. At risk of a Jackrabbit lynching, I say this: there is only one team on this campus that could handle DI. That, my friends, is Jackrabbit hockey, the future cash cow of SDSU athletics.
Hockey club splits with top St. Cloud club
The Jackrabbits had studied well. Being good students, they welcomed the St. Cloud State hockey club to the Larson Ice Center to prove that this time they were ready for the test. Not forgetting the embarrassment of the second weekend of the season, the Jacks brought out their A game and gave the hard- skating SCSU a much improved weekend series.
UN-L faces firing squad; SDSU uncorks 100+ shots
With two wins last weekend over the University of Nebraska Hockey Club, the Jackrabbit Hockey Club advanced their winning streak to seven games. Led by Billy Schneider’s 7 points and Andy Schuster’s 7 goals, the Jacks finished the weekend series with 108 shots on goal.
Park Wars
A long time ago, on a campus much, much smaller, finding a parking space took under 10 minutes. To find a spot amongst the crowd today requires a brave warrior with a trusty vehicle, a lot of time, and a lead foot. Like gladiators in a coliseum, students circle the parking lots on campus, knowing, “strike fast, strike first.
SDSU hockey dominates Chadron State
The Jackrabbit Hockey Club got off to a firey start in the new year with an 11-3 win on Friday and continued dominating Carelton College Saturday night with 10-5 victory. On Friday, goals by eight different Jack players ignited the Jackrabbit offense in the new year.
Hockey team splits two vs. Des Moines
Playing against a thin-benched Des Moines Collegiate Hockey Club the Jacks couldn’t pull off the victory last Saturday night and exhausted DMCHC on Sunday at the Larson Ice Complex in Brooking. With the 8-7 loss on Saturday before the packed stands and a 12-6 victory on Sunday, the Jackrabbit hockey club improved their record to 6-3-1 for the season.
Hockey team sweeps Iowa State JV
In another weekend series of hockey the Jacks offense exploited the Iowa State University-JV goalie to add two wins to their record. The Jacks won Friday night 7-1 and 10-4 on Saturday. “They call winning games like that winning ‘ugly’, and these two could definitely fall in that category,” said coach Marty Schipull.
