We (Northern Michigan) have a major test on our hands this weekend
with Lake Superior State.  We host them here in Marquette on Thursday
night, before heading to the Soo on Saturday.  Scott Beattie and Jim
Hiller are the Wildcats' co-scoring leaders with 16 points apiece in
six games.  Goaltending has been solid, especially freshman Corwin
Saurdiff of Warroad, Minn.  He has a 2-1 record, 2.14 GAA and .928
saves percentage.
 
The winner of this weekend's Northern Michigan-Lake Superior State
series will be awarded the Father Cappo Cup, donated by Father Louis
Cappo, a Marquette priest who is a season-ticket holder at Northern
Michigan, Lake Superior State and Michigan Tech!
 
It's interesting that we won the WCHA last season with just three
losses (25-3-4) and now the league's co-leaders, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, already have two losses apiece.
 
Let's go 'Cats!!
