WCHA weekend roundup

The Gophers got their first conference win Friday night and followed it up with the completion of a much needed sweep on Saturday versus Minnesota State Mankato. Kyle Okposo had two goals in Saturday night's game, which was just as good news as the sweep was to Minnesota fans.

Michigan Tech entered its series versus St. Cloud State as the top team in the WCHA standings. However, SCSU continued to get strong play from Garret Roe and sophomores Andreas Nodl and Ryan Lasch. Roe scored his seventh goal of the season already in Saturday night's game which completed the sweep at Michigan Tech. The wins were big for the Huskies who now are idle this upcoming week and play in a non conference series against Clarkson the following week.
