EricMillerPlenty of storylines remain in place as the Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association enters the final month of the regular season. In the Southern Division, Adrian College and MSOE both swept weekend series to remain deadlocked heading down the stretch. The Bulldogs (6-1 and 9-2 winners over Finlandia) and Raiders (2-0 and 4-2 over Lawrence) are now tied at 12-1-1 in MCHA play and, coincidentally, 15-3-1 overall. A head-to-head series to close out the regular season looms the final weekend.

 

Northland College continues its recent run of success, earning a win and tie against Concordia over the weekend (8-3 and 4-4) to run its current unbeaten streak to four games (2-0-2). The LumberJacks now have a record of 6-11-2 overall, the best mark in program history since finishing 6-19-0 in 2000-01. Lastly, in the Northern Division, Marian University swept past Lake Forest by scores of 4-1 and 4-3. That, combined with the Vikings falling to the Raiders, opened up the lead in the division to a commanding six points for the Sabres.
