SATURDAY GAME RECAP

MARQUETTE, Mich. -
 The Northern Michigan University men's hockey team completed its weekend sweep of the Alaska Fairbanks Nanooks with a gutsy 3-1 win. NMU blocked 41 shots on the evening, second most in an NCAA D1 hockey game since 2021, and T6 all-time since blocks became a recorded stat.

Charlie Glockner was arguably the best Wildcat tonight, making 30 saves and carrying a shutout for 79 minutes before the Nanooks scored with the goalie pulled. Kevin Marx Noren opened the scoring on the powerplay, followed by a Connor Eddy breakaway and another Aiden Gallacher empty net goal.

The Nanooks edged the 'Cats in shots on target 32-31, and in the faceoff dot by a 29-19 margin. The 'Cats penalty kill was remarkable and was once again perfect, killing all four attempts. The 'Cats were 1/3 on the PP, and blocked a total of 41 shots.

The 'Cats now improve to 5-6-1 with their four-game win streak, and the Nanooks fall to 6-5-1.
