Wife and I made the trip to Devils Lake yesterday afternoon to watch the games. Pretty good crowd last night for LRSC. Roads were terrible coming home...when will this end?
Ladies Game: LRSC dominated, but I don't think they played the best they could play. I believe NDSCS has to come up to WSC on Sunday to see who plays LRSC next Wed. Wife and I will probably try and make that trip as well.
Men's Game: Even if Travis Mertens was still with LRSC, I don't think they would have beat NDSCS. As I had said before, NDSCS's test will be the game to get to Nationals. McKeither was in perfect form not only working the inside, but left out alone on the 3 pt line and those were nothing but net.
Here is my big soapbox....NDSCS coach didn't play our ND kids until a large lead was established. Rumor I heard at the game was that he is already recruiting from Iowa and Illinois and will only have a couple of local ND/MN kids on the roster.
If my son was a good player here in ND, I would have a hard time encouraging NDSCS based on the opinion that this new coach is going to go outside the state to find players...but that is just my humble opinion.
Hopefully the weather cooperates for Sunday's games.
