LAKEWOOD, CO- Your Colorado Buffaloes went a combined 5-0 over the weekend! First off, the A team played their first game of the day in an exhibition match-up with University of Arizona, which had the intensity of a PAC-12 match-up (even though the PAC-12 does not include roller hockey).  Zach Clawson scored with 4:34 remaining in the game to tie it up at three, then Zach Raub scored the game winner with 36 seconds remaining to give the Buffs the 4-3 win.  The second game against Front Range CC didn't start off well for the Buffs, but after being tied 2-2, Colorado scored five straight goals to take the game 7-2.  In their final game against Metro State A, the Buffs were tied 1-1 with the Roadrunners after two periods of play. Colorado then scored three goals in two minutes to jump out to a 4-1 lead midway through the third period. Metro State pulled one back, but Colin Luben sealed the game with an empty net goal to seal the win. The Buffs keep their lead in Division 2 after the weekend.

The B team had two very impressive games.  The first game against Arapahoe Community College.  Newcomer Elliot Berger netted a hat-trick in his first game, and Scott Barrow had a goal and four assists to lead the Buffs to a 10-4 win.  The second game against UCCS B was more interesting.  After goaltender Zach Henderson had to leave with an injury, UCCS agreed to let the Buffs use their backup goaltender until CU A team goaltender Kyle Smith could suit up.  The goaltender filled in well, and Kyle entered the game with the Buffs up 4-3 with 3:17 played in the second. The Buffs did not look back and they blew out the Mountain Lions 12-5. Elliot Berger had four goals, Chase Arnold had three goals, and Joseph Oria had two goals in the win.  Colorado is two points behind CSU B going into their match-up next Sunday afternoon in Fort Collins.

LAKEWOOD, CO- Your Colorado Buffaloes A team has a 4 point lead in Division 2 after this weekend! The third-ranked Buffaloes started off the weekend with a 11-1 drubbing of Texas Tech in an Exhibition matchup last Friday night, lead by Zach Raub and Colin Luben, who each had 2 goals and 3 assists.  Then, the Buffs took on Division 1 powerhouse Colorado State.  The Buffs posted a solid effort, but fell 6-2. 

The B team, despite only having 5 skaters for the weekend, posted a great 4 games for the weekend.  The Buffs played a make-up game against ACC on Friday night.  After ACC tied the game at 2, the Buffs then regained focus and scored 5 straight goals to take the game 7-2.  The Buffs then took that win into Saturday's three games.  The first game featured the Buffs beating UCCS B 8-4, lead by 4 goals by Chase Arnold.  Then, the Buffs got their revenge against Metro State B, beating them handily 4-1.  The Buffs were lead by Scott Barrow, who featured in all 4 goals with 3 goals and an assist.  Against CSU B, the B team was exhausted, and they dropped the game 6-4.

After the weekend, the A team still has a 4 point lead in Division 2, while the loss against CSU dropped the B team to second place.

These are all the games for the first semester, so keep checking back for more updates in the second semester!

LAKEWOOD, CO- Your University of Colorado A team is 4 points ahead of the rest of Division 2 by going 2-1 after the weekend.  In the first game, the Buffs rallied from 2-0 down to win the game 3-2.  Zach Clawson had a goal and an assist, and Zach Raub scored the game winning goal in the third.  The second game was a tough one for the Buffs, losing the game against Metro State A 5-2.  Metro took a 3-0 lead after the first period, and they did not look back in a solid performance by the Roadrunners.  The Buffs bounced back in the third game against DU.  Nick Ramsey scored the game winning goal 3:12 into the third to give the Buffs the 3-2 win.

The B team was idle this weekend, but both teams will be back in action December 3rd! Go Buffs!

COLORADO SPRINGS- Both of the Buffs' roller hockey teams were in action Saturday at CETsports Inline Hockey Arena in Colorado Springs.  The A team played their first game against DU, and beat them 9-4 in a dominating performance lead by Zach Clawson, who had 4 goals, and Zach Raub with a goal and 4 assists.  Their dominating performance against DU carried over into the game against Front Range CC, where the Buffs jumped out to a 5-0 lead only 4:08 into the second.  Front Rage made a small comeback, but Colorado shut the door in the third period and took the game 6-3.

The B team had a more difficult task ahead of them due to only having five players available for their two games.  The first game against UCCS B was a dominating performance lead by Chase Arnold, Bradley Edelson, and Joseph Oria who all had 4 points in the game, which helped the Buffs defeat the Mountain Lions 8-3.  The Buffs were unfortunate against Metro B in the second game when a controversial ruling gave the Roadrunners the tying goal in the third period.  They built on that momentum and scored the game winning goal with 1:30 left in the third to take the game 3-2. 

Both teams are 3-1 and in first place in their respective divisions! Go Buffs!

Smith flashes the glove in CU's opening win vs UCCS
LAKEWOOD- Both of the CU Roller Hockey teams made a great showing this weekend.  In the first game of the season, A team was down 4-2 to UCCS before scoring four straight goals to give them the 6-4 lead.  They eventually took the game 6-5 to get revenge against the team that knocked them out of regionals last semester.  B team beat CSU B 4-3 by way of Chase Arnold scoring a goal with 1:01 remaining in the game.

Unfortunately for the A team, they were not able to pick up their second win of the season, losing 6-4 in a close match-up against CSU A.  B team was able to take care of business against a heavily outmatched ACC, shutting them out 7-0.

Notes:  After two regular season games, Zach Clawson leads the A team in goals (3), while Adam Steinberg leads the team in points (5).  For B team, Joseph Oria leads the team in goals (3), and Brian Barrow leads the team in points (5)

LAKEWOOD, CO- If there was anybody in the Rocky Mountain region that thought that Colorado will not be one of the teams competing for the D2 Championship, those thoughts were erased after this weekend.  In the first game on Saturday, your Buffs came back against a strong Denver University squad to win the game 8-4.  Then, later on that day, the Buffs dropped a close game to Front Range Community College 4-3.  Then, Sunday saw the Buffs beat CSU 5-2 in a dominating performance, before continuing to dominate over Arapahoe Community College, beating them 10-2.  Then, in the tournament semi-finals, the Buffs beat Denver again, this time by a score of 5-4.  In the finals against CSU, the Buffs were not able to pull it out, losing 4-1.

The B team looks to contend for the B Division championship this year.  They started out Saturday by dominating UCCS's B team 10-0 before losing a close game against CSU B 3-2.  Then, the Buffs lost another close game, this time to Metro State B 4-2.  Due to the multitude of injuries, the B team had to forfeit its semi-final match-up against Colorado State B the next morning.

This weekend was an encouraging one, and look out for the Buffs as they start their regular season quest to become regional champions! Go Buffs!

For all fans, the tryout held last night for the roller hockey team were the most competitive tryouts that has been held in at least a few years.  Judging by how many people came out, we will have two teams for the upcoming 2011-2012 campaign!!  We will have our A team play in Division II, and our B team will play in the B division.  Both our teams will be playing against the same teams, except the B team will not be playing against the Division 1 teams, and they won't be playing against the CU A team. Both rosters will be announced and displayed on the website as soon as they are set by the coaches, so stay tuned for more updates!!
