Colorado College's Michael Boivin scored with 2.8 seconds left in regulation to lift the sixth-ranked Tigers to a 4-3 win over the UAA Seawolves on Saturday night in Colorado Springs.  The heartbreaking loss leaves UAA at 3-10-1 in the WCHA entering semester break.  The Seawolves led 3-1 in the second period before allowed three unanswered goals. The loss by UAA wasted a two-goal performance from Brett Cameron. Senior Curtis Leinweber ended the series with four points as UAA managed a split of the two-game set.

Chase Grant, Eriah Hayes, and Zach Lehrke scored for the Mavericks.  UAA's Chris Kamal made 32 stops in the losing effort.  

The Seawolf hockey team defeated #14 St. Cloud State 3-1 Saturday night.  For fans of the green and gold the teams 3-0 lead in the third period may not have offered much comfort.  Only a night prior UAA saw a similar 3-0 lead evaporate and end in a 4-3 overtime loss.  In a show of toughness the home town team was able to shake off the rough ending in that game and play their way to the groups first WCHA win this year.  The scoring parade got started...

The University of Alaska Anchorage hockey team is preparing for its second WCHA home series against St. Cloud State. The Huskies haven't been capturing any best-in-show awards, as the pre-season No. 4 team in the nation is off to a 4-6-2 start -- but coach Dave Shyiak knows they have the talent to be dangerous. “They have Garrett Roe and the Drew LeBlanc kid -- they're just a team (where) if you give them time and space they'll capitalize, so our job is to not give them the time and space,” Shyiak said.

Tommy Grant scored with 8.1 seconds left in regulation to lift the UAA Hockey team to a thrilling 2-1 victory over #15 Wisconsin on Friday night.  Theatrics are becoming a habit for the Seawolves, who have played 10 games this season decided by one goal, including last week's overtime win at Colorado College featuring a tying goal with six seconds to play.   Craig Parkinson buried the Seawolves other goal, a shorthanded strike in the second stanza.  They move to 4-6-1 in WCHA play, while the Badgers drop to 3-6-2 in league play.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers peppered UAA goaltender Rob Gunderson with 48 shots, and walked away with a 5-1 victory over the Seawolves Friday night at Mariucci Arena.  The loss drops UAA ( 6-11-2 WCHA ) to a third straight loss. The Seawolves got off to a poor start, allowing two Minnesota goals in the opening 5:36 of the opening period.  The early 2-0 deficit led to a strong lecture from coach Dave Shyiak.  Mitch Bruijsten responded with a power play strike, making it 2-1 by the end of the first.

The UAA hockey team showed the scoring depth it will need to compete in the WCHA this season with a 7-2 blowout of the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in exhibition play Friday night in Wasilla.  The Seawolves scored the first seven goals of the night. The Seawolves led 1-0 after 20 minutes and then stomped the Ooks with a five-goal second, thanks to a three-goal flurry in a span of 2:29.  Mitch Bruijsten, Chris Crowell, and Tyler Currier all struck in the three-goal rally, while Scott Warner and Brett Cameron also tallied during the second.

In their 33rd attempt, the UAA Seawolves finally earned a victory at St. Cloud State's National Hockey Center on Friday.  Eric Scheid buried the game winning goal in overtime, his second goal of the contest, as the Seawolves claimed their fifth WCHA win this season, 3-2 over the Huskies.  Prior to Friday, the Seawolves held a record of 0-28-4 in games played at St. Cloud State's current arena.  UAA remains in last place in conference play,...

In a game with odd bounces that went in favor of the opposition, the UAA Seawolves fell to 4-18-1 in the WCHA with a 3-2 setback to the Minnesota State-Mankato Mavericks on Friday night.  Matt Bailey and Scott Warner notched power play goals to account for the UAA scoring. Bailey now has three goals in the last two games, but after Warner's tying goal in the third period, the Mavericks received the game-winner form Mike Louwerse on a shot that deflected in the air past Seawolves goaltender Rob Gunderson.  The visitors also scored a goal on a slow-moving shot that bounced off a UAA defender.  The Seawolves outshot MSU-Mankato, 24-17.
