UC has a busy schedule this weekend with home games Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Now 6-1 on the season, the Bearcats hope to have raised their record to 9-1 by Monday morning by defeating EKU and MTSU.  Coming off a two game sweep of XU, in which UC out-scored their opponents 10-3, highlights including a hat trick and a shut-out, the team certainly has momentum in their favor.

When the puck drops Friday night at 7 p.m. the Bearcats will face off against 1-4 EKU for the third time this year.  UC opened the season against the Colonials in September, winning back to back games 4-2, and 7-4.  The team hopes to pick up a similar win this time around.

Saturday night at 9 p.m., the Bearcats open a two game series against the 1-4 Middle Tennessee State University Blue Raiders.  These two teams have not yet met this season, and nearly half the team has never faced MTSU.  UC, however, has the advantage of a four game winning streak behind them: The Bearcats have not lost since the second game of the ACHA Showcase in Roanoke, VA in early October.  The second game between UC and MTSU will be played Sunday at 9:30 a.m.

Bearcat Hockey encourages everyone to come out and support the team as they look to add to a thus far impressive season.  All this weekend’s games will be played on home ice at Sports Plus in Evendale, and tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for non-UC students, and $3 for children.  Admission is free for UC students and staff with a UCID.
