Here&#8217;s what we learned.<br \/>\n<strong>1.  It was tough to score, even for the top teams in the league.<\/strong>  On Friday night, six of the 10 teams playing were held to one goal or fewer; in Saturday&#8217;s action, four teams were held to a single goal.  The top team in the conference, Notre Dame, was held to two goals for the weekend by Michigan State, where the Irish won 1-0 and lost 3-1.  Miami and Western Michigan each had four goals in the weekend.<br \/>\nThis is not surprising if you take a look at the CCHA goaltenders.  Four league goaltenders are among the top ten in the country for goals against:  Ohio State&#8217;s Brady Hjelle, Notre Dame&#8217;s Steven Summerhays, Western Michigan&#8217;s Frank Slubowski and Michigan State&#8217;s Jake Hildebrand.  Three of these &#8212; Hjelle, Hildebrand, Summerhays &#8212; are among the top 10 goalies in the country for save percentage, joined by a fourth, Lake Superior State&#8217;s Kevin Murdock.<br \/>\nAnd even though Jared Coreau isn&#8217;t among the top 10 goaltenders in the country, he made 43 saves when the Wildcats beat the RedHawks 2-1 Friday night.<br \/>\n<strong>2.  It was tough to sweep, again.<\/strong>  Only one series resulted in a sweep, Alaska&#8217;s two games in Ann Arbor.  The Nanooks beat the Wolverines 5-4 and 4-1, and the sweep was the first for Alaska versus Michigan.  Going into the weekend, the Nanooks had beaten the Wolverines three times in Michigan&#8217;s barn in the previous 26 meetings there. No one else was completely satisfied, as there were two splits outright and a couple of ties to divide the points.<br \/>\n<strong>3.  It&#8217;s tough to beat Bob Daniels when it comes to quotes.<\/strong>  After Ferris State&#8217;s 3-1 home loss to Ohio State Friday night, Daniels said, &#8220;I won&#8217;t lose sleep tonight.  We played well.  There&#8217;s not going to be any soul searching.&#8221;<br \/>\nAfter returning the favor with a 3-1 win over the Buckeyes Saturday night, Daniels said, &#8220;After seeing Ohio State play, we&#8217;re proud of a split [because] they&#8217;re a good team.  I have a feeling a seven-game series with Ohio State would go all seven games and into overtime.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an interesting weekend of conference competition in the CCHA, everyone played except for Bowling Green.
