His
Impact: The surprising Huskies, picked to finish
in the WCHA cellar at the beginning of the year, notched
their first-ever sweep at North Dakota last weekend
due in part to Goepfert's solid play. He made 28 saves
in Friday's 2-1 win, then stopped 36 shots as the Huskies
won by the identical score in overtime the following
night. SCSU is tied for fifth in the conference with
Colorado College and stands just one point behind the
fourth-place Fighting Sioux with two games in hand.
