Taras Lendzyk picked up his fourth career shutout, breaking a school
record held by Lendzyk(92- ), Rick Kosti(83-85), and my high school physical
education teacher Bill Halbrehder(61-65), on Saturday night as the
Bulldogs swept their first series since March 12-13, 1993 against the
Seawolves.  UAA has been the victim of 3 of the last 6 sweeps the Dogs
have completed.  The Dogs had a very good weekend.  Friday's come from
behind in the third period win was one of the best I have seen, and
Saturday's win was close to as exciting as Friday's.  The Bulldogs
thoroughly outplayed Anchorage from about halfway through the 2nd period
of Friday's game until the end of the weekend.  UAA goalie Lee Schill
notched 94 saves, but unfortunately for him, his teammates didn't come
close to the 100 shots taken by the Dogs this weekend, but he did a very
good job keeping UAA in the games.  The game was the lowest scoring in
UAA's 479 game history; there had been at least three goals in every
Anchorage outing.  The Bulldogs lost to Princeton in 1980 1-0 in OT for
their lowest scoring game ever.  About 5 minutes into the third, UAA
defenseman Todd Bethard hit the post on a fairly empty net and just a few
seconds later Paul Williams and Troy Norcross came on a 2-on-1.  Williams
drew Lendzyk out, passed off and Norcross' shot at an empty net was
somehow stopped by Lendzyk's toe.
 
Next Saturday night's game vs. Wisconsin will be the first WCHA game
shown on a national cable network, ESPN2.  WCHA commissioner Bruce McLeod
has been working with ESPN to televise league games on ESPN or ESPN2
during the NHL lockout.
