| The University of Michigan-Dearborn defeated the University of Pittsburgh twice over the weekend! |
The University of Michigan-Dearborn hockey team welcomed the University of Pittsburgh to town over the weekend for a pair of primetime ACHA (American Collegiate Hockey Association) matchups. The Pittsburgh Panthers compete in the CHMA (College Hockey Mid-America) Conference along with seven other teams from Ohio, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. The UofM-D Wolverines compete in the GLCHL (Great Lakes Collegiate Hockey League) with six other teams, five of which are from the state of Michigan (Adrian College, Davenport, Eastern Michigan University, Oakland University, and Western Michigan University). UofM-D has always been known as the Wolves, but this year they have changed their name, and are now known as the Wolverines. Their official website will still be gowolves.net
On Friday night the Wolverines scored four goals in the second period to aid them to a 5-2 victory over Pittsburgh. #22 Jase Paciocco scored twice for the Wolverines as his team outshot the Panthers 45-26. Despite allowing five goals, #35 Rob Behling made 40 saves for Pittsburgh.
On Saturday night the Wolverines had more of the same planned for the Panthers. #41 Micah Collier made several key saves, and his Wolverine teammates found the back of the net seven times for a 7-4 victory. UofM-D improved their overall record to 4-6- with 1 loss in overtime, but remain 1-3 in the GLCHL.
