Wisconsin defeated Northern Michigan University 4-1 Friday night at the Great Dane in Madison, WI. It was a quick, entertaining, penaly-free game that offered little by way of conversation. Kirk Daubenspeck got the start and the win, playing much more confidently than in recent weeks. Getting bombed by Michigan and New Hampshire will do that I guess. Wisconsin's freshman "Fab Four" Dustin Kuk, Niki Siren, Steve Reinprecht and T.R. Moreau (out with a back injury) continued to impress by scoring 2 goals and playing with the innocent confidence that sometimes occurs when a young bunch like each other and play well together. The UW power play went 1-for-3 and is an impressive ~23 percent in league play. The Badgers are now 8-0 in WCHA Friday night games, 4-0-1 in their last 5 games, and are 1 point out of 4th place, two points out of 3rd,....... Freshman goaltender Mike Valley will probably get the start tonight, as Coach Jeff Sauer intends to rotate goalies for the time being. Yours, Terry E. Tuschen Jr. ****************************************************************************** University of Wisconsin-Madison WISCONSIN BADGERS Space Science and Engineering NCAA DIV. 1 Mens Ice Hockey Champions McIDAS Archive 1973, 1977, 1981, 1983, 1990, 1997?!
