WARRIORS AT CONCORDIA - FRIDAY, OCT. 27 - FINAL: 2-8

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - The Warriors' defense let too many shots through as the Cardinals put 85 shots on the net. Freshman Blake Mitchell tabbed 54 saves before giving up his seventh goal when he was replaced by goalmate Cody Pachota early in the third period. Pachota worked for 23 saves, allowing just one the rest of the way. The Cardinals still totaled eight on the night.

Forwards Kyle Banks and Bobby Kulka each grabbed a goal for the Warriors. However, the Cardinals would have seven before Kulka put in the second goal for the Warriors, assisted by freshman Jordan Winrod. The Cardinals would win handily, 8-2.

WARRIORS VS. CONCORDIA - SATURDAY, OCT. 28 - FINAL: 1-4

FRASER, Mich. - The Warriors played host on Saturday night at Big Boy Arena, and the Warriors got on the scoreboard first. Senior Tirned Kabamba Mwamba capitalized on the power play as the puck found its way through to give the Warriors their first lead in three weeks.

However, the Warriors could not add to their total the rest of the way. The Cardinals remained scoreless after the first period, but the Cardinals scored thrice in the third, including a powerplay goal. The Cardinals would get one more in the first minute of the third, and the score was 4-1 to the finish.

Mitchell would post another impressive number with 58 saves, but it was not enough. It was a scrappy game with 19 penalties between the two squads.
