After starting the season with the shock of coach Don Vaughan’s (temporary) departure, Colgate has put together a successful stretch under Stan Moore. Juan Martinez reports on the Raiders’ stretch drive, as well as recruiting news, and a call to arms by UVM coach Kevin Sneddon.
The referee catch more flak than usual, maybe thanks to a tight race in the standings; Alaska-Anchorage shows its heart — and gets rewarded; Minnesota forges on without its captain; and Colorado College finds its scoring touch, though maybe not at even strength. Todd D. Milewski reports.
