The University of Wyoming club hockey team completed a three-city, nine-game homestand last weekend with a pair of victories over Metro State College.
The Cowboys romped to a 5-0 win over the Roadrunners Friday night at the Laramie Community Ice Arena and rallied for a 7-6 triumph Saturday night at the Taco John's Events Center in Cheyenne.
UW (9-4), ranked No. 4 in the Pacific Region of the American Collegiate Hockey Association Division III, embarks on an eight-game road trip this week that includes a Saturday matchup against No. 2 Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa, and a pair of games against No. 3 University of Colorado Jan. 23-24 in Boulder.
In the Cowboys' opener against Metro State last weekend, Erik Blomberg (Parker, Colo.) and Willy Miller (Arvada, Colo.) each had a goal and an assist to back goaltender Robert Kola (Colorado Springs, Colo.). Kola stopped 33 shots to record his second shutout of the season.
Graham Barrett (Colorado Springs, Colo.), Craig Luplow (Sheridan) and Lucas Wescoat (Idaho Falls, Idaho) also scored goals for UW. David Wells (Rock Springs) added two assists, and Cody Leeper (Jackson), Michael Leriger (Houston, Texas), Nate Olsen (Pinedale) and Ryan Tufte (Jackson) had single assists.
In Saturday's series finale, Rick Comer (Gillette) capped a four-goal rally in the third period with a power-play goal in the final two minutes to lift the Cowboys over the Roadrunners.
Barrett, Blomberg, Tufte, Wells, Tad Bernet (Katy, Texas) and Zach Jacobson (Parker, Colo.) also netted goals for UW. Bernet, Leriger and Evan Reed (Fort Collins, Colo.) recorded assists.
The Cowboys open their longest road trip of the 2008-09 season Thursday in Sioux Center against the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. Following Friday's faceoff against Dordt, UW wraps up its weekend Saturday against Calvin College.
