The MSOE hockey team has moved up to No. 11 in the United States Collegiate Hockey Online (USCHO.com) Division III national poll. The Raiders swept Finlandia this past weekend at the Kern Center. This weekend, MSOE welcomes No. 4 Adrian to Milwaukee. Friday's game against the Bulldogs will begin at 7:05 p.m. while the puck will drop at 2 p.m. Saturday.
Junior Jordan Keizer leads the nation in short-handed goals with three on the young season while Junior Mike Pao is tied for first nationally with two game-winnings goals. Senior goaltender Connor Toomey broke the school record for wins as he recorded his 46th career victory Saturday against the Lions. Toomey passed the mark set by former Raider goalie Matt Burzon. MSOE has only allowed one power play goal in 19 chances for their opponents.
