Bronchos Buck The Sooners On The Ice

This past Friday and Saturday the University of Central Oklahoma Bronchos hockey team took on the big and bad OU squad in a bedlam showdown.

Most Oklahomans would probably assume that the Sooners would have won this battle and the war, but that is not the case.

UCO won both of the games this weekend. Friday they gave the Sooners a little taste of Broncho power defeating them 3-1.

The game started off a little slow ending the first period scoreless but picked up in the second with a stout 2 goals for the Chos.

The third period started off disappointing when the Sooners scored first, however a late goal in the final minutes of play closed the door on the Crimson and Cream and sealed the deal for Buddy Broncho and the gang.

Saturday the Bronchos made the 20 mile road trip down to the Blazers Ice Centre which is the home rink of the Sooners.

Home field advantage didn't help the Sooners defense. The Bronchos scored a healthy 6 goals in Saturday's game doubling their score of the match-up the night before.

Blazers Ice Centre had a similar effect on the Bronchos. They allowed 3 goals in this second match-up. This was 2 more than the night before. However the forwards put in work on the offensive end and created a nice result.

The Bronchos have a rich history of laying the wood on the historic D1 school in hockey and continue to not disappoint. They took the weekend by storm and dominated the Sooners on both sides of the ice.

Broncho fans are very happy with their championship quality team this year and are very hopeful for another ring this season.

The Bronchos have 2 more regular season games at Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pennsylvania this weekend,
then will travel to compete in the post season.
