Buffs Fall Short Against Mountain Lions

Your Colorado Buffaloes finished off their weekend campaign by playing the newly-founded hockey club from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.  UCCS showed why they should be in consideration for the top team in Division 2.  The Buffs kept the game competitive, but the Mountain Lions overpowered the Buffs by taking the game 5-1.  Ryan Pederson scored a hat-trick for the Mountain Lions, and  Zach Clawson scored the lone goal for the Buffs on the powerplay.  Kyle Smith put up a solid performance, stopping 30 of 35 shots in the loss.  The Buffs fall to 1-3 after this weekend, and they will look to rebound next weekend when they take on Colorado State and Metro State-A.
