Season ends for UW hockey

The University of Wyoming hockey club fell short in its bid to return to the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) National Championships.

Needing to win back-to-back games at the Division III Pacific Regional Tournament in Las Vegas, the Cowboys dropped a 4-1 decision against Dordt College of Iowa in Saturday's semifinals.

UW, which rallied to defeat Fresno State University in its Friday opener, finished 20-12 this season. The Blades beat Air Force 6-4 in their regional opener.

The Cowboys, who won the 2001 ACHA championship and finished second in 2002, have not qualified for nationals since 2006.
