Cyclones
to blow into town.

Iowa
State next on the big pond |
November
4, 2004 - Back to back to back to back,
that is how the Illini are playing the Cyclones of
Iowa State this season. Last week the Illini traveled
to Ames, IA and were able to pull out two wins
against the
Cyclones. Iowa State would surely love to turn things
around and do the same thing to the Illini when they
travel to
Champaign
this weekend. The Illini struggled last weekend in
two come from behind
games
against the 'Clones and would like to come out with
more fire and determination to put the Iowa State
skaters behind quickly, not
letting
up until the game is over. If the Illini can keep
the play in the offensive zone, sending plenty of
pucks towards the ISU goaltenders, who have been
on the shaky side this season allowing over three
goals per game, they should be able to do just that.
Defensively the Illini will have to keep up on their
game as well, playing ISU hard and limiting the
shots on goal, especially from their sharpshooters.
Two more Illini wins this weekend would
add four points to their
Central States
Collegiate
Hockey
League total, tying them with Iowa State who
currently have eight points, and move them closer
to a spot
in the CSCHL playoffs. Both games this weekend are
at 7:00pm at the University of Illinois Ice Arena.
Be sure to get your tickets early since these are
usually standing room only games. |
