What’s the bigger story, that Miami left Big Rapids with one point to its credit — or that the Bulldogs took five from the No. 1 team in the country? (Yes, I know that MSU is in the bottom half of the standings. For now.)<\/p>\n Notre Dame lost 3-2 Friday and the game wasn’t even that close, since the second Irish goal came with the empty net. In Saturday’s contest, when the Irish found themselves behind 2-1 after one, they responded with three unanswered second-period goals and went on to win 6-2. Six different players scored for the Irish, who limited the Falcons to 13 shots on goal. Freshman Steven Summerhays needed to stop just 10 for the win. The Nanooks finished their little CCHA home stand 3-1-0, and Scott Greenham (1.79 GAA, .931 SV%) has established himself as the conference goalie to beat in the early going this season. And the Buckeyes – uncharacteristically – did their part to Defend the Realm, sweeping Alabama-Huntsville in Columbus, outscoring the Chargers 11-3 in the process. Nine different Buckeyes scored.

\nMichigan State left Kalamazoo empty-handed, or the unranked (and formerly lowly) Broncos swept a ranked (and formerly undefeated) team?
\nNotre Dame emerges at the top of the standings after the CCHA weekend shuffle, or the unranked Falcons earn their first conference win after knocking off one of the top programs in the league?
\nHeading in to last weekend, Miami and Notre Dame were tied at the top of the CCHA standings, with Michigan one point behind them. Now the top of the CCHA has been reshuffled, with the Irish on top of the standings with 14 points. Then comes Michigan (13), Miami (12), Alaska (11) and Ferris State (10).
\nAh, parity.
\nThe haves<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

\nLikewise in Fairbanks, the Wolverines responded to a disappointing loss with an impressive win. With the score tied 2-2 going into the third period Saturday, UM scored three in the third, including Louie Caporusso’s empty-netter, his second goal of the game. Bryan Hogan was in net for both contests.<\/p>\n\n
\nThe have nots?<\/strong>
\nHardly.
\nThe usual suspects – BGSU, WMU – are doing things very differently, so it’s unlikely they’ll be perennial bottom-dwellers.
\nNorthern Michigan and Lake Superior?<\/strong> These teams split a pair of games in Sault Ste. Marie this past weekend, with the Wildcats taking Friday’s contest. In each game, the winner limited the loser to just a goal.
\nFour different guys scored for NMU in the 4-1 win, and Reid Ellingson had 42 saves.
\nThree different guys scored for LSSU in the 3-1 win, and Dominic Monardo scored in each game for the Lakers.<\/li>\n
\nIt’s worth mentioning, too, that OSU outshot UAH 90-36 – but worth mentioning because of the performances of Chargers goalies, C.J. Groh (44 saves) and Clarke Saunders (35).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
