Minnesota State 5, Bowling Green 2

Four Minnesota State juniors scored goals as the Mavericks edged Bowling Green 5-2 Saturday in a nonconference matchup in Bowling Green, Ohio. Jason Wiley, Jerad Stewart, Trevor Bruess and Kurt Davis all scored goals and Geoff Irwin added an empty-netter. Mick Berge had two assists and Mike Zacharias made 25 saves in net. Davis extended his scoring streak to 14 games, tied for the longest in MSU's DI era.

Notes: With October and November now in the books, the Mavericks wrapped up the first two months of the season with eight wins after getting nine total wins in the last three seasons combined during those months. Some of the success has to do with a couple underclassmen, Read About It Here, though it's a few days old the point's still the same....MSU still hasn't lost on the road (4-0-3) and plays in a WCHA home-and-home series this weekend vs. St. Cloud State. Friday's game will be in Mankato....Keep voting on the polls, of the 27 who voted on the last one, only four said MSU would have a three-point weekend (technically not a three-point weekend because the games were nonconference, but it's just an easier way to say a win and a tie...17 people thought MSU would sweep). I'll think of something else to vote for and put it up in a day or so, along with some updates later in the week.
