UMD has won Friday games in NCHC play against North Dakota, Colorado College, Miami, and now Western Michigan. It has yet to sweep a series. UMD’s last sweep was a home-and-home series against Minnesota Oct. 22-23.
So it’s been a while.
Expect the Bulldogs to try to tighten up a bit, try to slow down Western Michigan’s relentless transition game. It won’t be easy, but if this team is to take the next step, it has to find a way to sweep a series in league play, where Saturdays are almost always harder, and sweeps have been awfully hard to come by.
No changes for UMD for the second straight Saturday.
