Men's Hockey
The men's hockey team traveled to Alaska this weekend to take on the Seawolves to open their Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) play. On Friday night, the Dogs got behind early, falling 4-1 late in the second period. It was a battle to the end, but UMD fell short. Sophomore Justin Fontaine was able to net two goals, while senior MacGregor Sharp added to the team, scoring his fifth goal of the season, according to the UMD Web site.
After a tough loss on Friday, the team looked to bounce back on Saturday. This time it was the Bulldogs that got out to the quick start. Fontaine started the scoring at 10:26 of the first period, according to the UMD Web site. The lead was short lived however, as the Seawolves came right back scoring to end the first period. The rest of the game went back and forth as the teams ended in a 1-1 tie. The Bulldogs will travel to Xcel Center in St. Paul next weekend to take on St. Cloud State at 4:07 p.m.
Cross Country
The Bulldog men's and women's cross-country teams traveled to Aberdeen, S.D. this past weekend to participate in crucial races for the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) championships.
Freshman Morgan Place once again proved herself as one of the best, as she won the women's 5K run with a time of 21:46.80, according to the UMD Web site.
Place was followed closely by senior Liz Palkie and sophomore Bridget Hines, who finished second and fourth respectively. The Dogs finished second in the championship.
The men also had a strong showing as they placed 6th among 10 teams in the championship. Senior Mike Kramer was the first Bulldog to cross the finish line, placing seventh overall with an 8K time of 26:08.70, according to the UMD Web site.
