The Montana Tech Orediggers faced a tough defeat on Friday night, falling 5-0 to the Montana State University Bobcats at the Butte Community Ice Center. Despite the valiant efforts of Orediggers’ goalie Carson Burkart, who made an impressive 59 saves on 64 shots, the Bobcats’ offense proved too overwhelming.
The Bobcats dominated the game from the onset, outshooting the Orediggers 64-26. Their aggressive offensive strategy was led by Vincent Felt, who scored two goals, contributing significantly to the Bobcats’ victory. On the other end of the ice, Bobcats’ goalie Richie Popson delivered a flawless performance, stopping all 26 shots he faced.
Both teams struggled to capitalize on their powerplay opportunities, with the Orediggers going 0 for 11 and the Bobcats failing to convert on their 12 chances. A notable moment in the game was Orediggers’ Tye Carriere earning 12 penalty minutes, which further hindered the team’s chances of mounting a comeback.
The Orediggers will look to bounce back from this tough loss in their next game against Western Washington University. The game will take place on Saturday, October 10th at 7:00 pm PDT at the Bellingham Sportsplex. The team will undoubtedly be working on their powerplay conversion and shot accuracy in preparation for this crucial matchup.
