Well, since I am home-bound with a nasty head cold and I watched the game on TV, you get a short Friday night report. The Gophers beat the Michigan Technological University Huskies tonight at Mariucci Arena 3-1! Gopher goals were scored by Joe Dziedzic, Brian Bonin, and Nick Checco. The Tech goal was scored by Pat Mikesch. After the first period, the game became very defense oriented. Both goalies Ram for Tech and Callinan for Minn. had excellent saves throughout the game. There were numerous penalties for both teams and at the end of the game a minor skirmish began when Layne Lebel shot the puck at Gopher goalie Callinan after the final buzzer. This was probably in retaliation for a shot that Brian Bonin took after a whistle at Tech goalie Ram. Lebel received a misconduct for his folly and a brawl was avoided, when the coaches went onto the ice to get their players into the locker rooms. Tech played well, considering the down-slide they have been in. I guess the WCHA is just very balanced this year. Same teams, same place tomorrow night. GO Gophers!!! -Carol Carol S.
