College Hockey Weekly Report Wisconsin Still Reigns Supremacy even with loss to Michigan Tech

Michigan Tech on Friday night probably pulled the biggest upset of the season by defeating Wisconsin in Madison. However the Badgers stormed right back on Saturday shuting out Tech 7-0 after their 4-2 loss on Friday.

Brian Elliott earned his third shutout of the season on Saturday as he continues to play well in goal. At this point in time he could be considered a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award handed out in April, the day before the National Championship game.

Staying out West, Minnesota swept North Dakota on the Sioux's home ice. Ryan Poltuny of the Gophers had 3 goals in the sweep. Kellen Briggs played both games in net stopping 49 of 55 shots this weekend. He made a case that he should be the starting goalie in the stretch run for the Gophers.

In other College Hockey Action this weekend:

Boston College swept UMASS-Amherst scoring 11 goals and only allowing 1 in two games as the Eagles shutout the Minutemen 7-0 on Friday at The Heights and finished off the sweep with a 4-1 victory in Amherst on Saturday night.

Boston University went 1-1 this weekend as they lost to Providence but bounced back and defeated Dartmouth.

Michigan got a much needed sweep against Nebraska-Omaha.

Ohio State also got a sweep against Union.

And Miami (Ohio) got 3 points from two tough ECACHL teams St. Lawrence and Clarkson.

Next Weeks action includes:

North Dakota will look to rebound from its sweep of Minnesota as they face nationaly ranked Bemidji State from the CHA.

St. Lawrence will travel to Vermont, which should be a great one.

And Lake Superior will look to move up in the rankings as they face Notre Dame in South Bend.

I will not have a weekly preview this week only because there are only a few games this weekend because of finals week. So make sure you read the weekly report next week and also next week I will preview some of the Holiday Tournaments.
