This time, CC bops Badgers in Madison
 
MADISON, Wis. - If you're going to exorcise demons, why not do it on Friday the
13th?
 
The Colorado College hockey team snapped a 12-game Dane County Coliseum losing
streak - dating back to Nov. 19, 1988 - by dumping Wisconsin, 5-2, Friday.  Of
those losses, 10 were regular-season games.
 
"We've waited a long time for this," said Tiger senior R.J. Enga.  "It's a
great feeling to see 8,500 people filing out with two minutes left."
 
The Tigers (18-5 overall, 13-4 in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association)
scored just 1:36 into the game when freshman Travis Cheyne took Colin Schmidt's
pass and beat goalie Kirk Daubenspeck.
 
That goal served as a bad omen for Wisconsin (11-10-1, 9-8-1), which never tied
nor led.  Cheyne hadn't scored since Oct. 22, the Tigers' second game of the
season.
 
CC led 2-0 after one period and 3-1 after two.
 
But when the Badgers' leading scorer, Max Williams, slapped a shot passed CC
goalie Ryan Bach (25 saves) just 3:35 into the third period, the score was 3-2
and CC coach Don Lucia might have been thinking about last Saturday's 6-5 home
loss to Minnesota-Duluth, when CC gave up five thrid-period goals.
 
"We were in control 90 percent of the game tonight," Lucia said.  "I really
wasn't thinking about the Duluth game.  This was such a different team on the
ice.  We played so well.  We did all the little things you need to do to win."
 
Cheyne's second goal - tripling his season output - with nine minutes left gave
CC a 4-2 lead.  Enga's goal with four minutes to go iced it.
 
"I like our chances tomorrow night (tonight), especially if we can come out and
play like this again," said Lucia, whose team extended its first-place margin
to six points.
 
Schmidt, who scored a goal and added two assists, said, "It feels great to
finally win in their barn.  But we want to take care of business this weekend.
We'd love a sweep here."
