ISU hosts Nebraska team’s first-ever games
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln has started a women’s club hockey team this year. They came to Ames the weekend of April 5-6, 2008 to play the Cyclones. It was the Nebraska team’s first-ever games against another college women’s team.
Both games were exhibition games, as the Nebraska team is not yet a member of the American Collegiate Hockey Association. The Iowa State Women Cyclones won both games against the Husker club--by a score of 9 to 0 on Saturday afternoon and 11 to 0 on Sunday morning.
The Nebraska team has practiced regularly during the past winter and has played some youth league and adult hockey recreation league teams in Lincoln. “These two games versus the ISU Women Cyclones at Ames were our first games ever against another collegiate women’s hockey team,” says Scott Smith, the Nebraska team’s coach. “We contacted the ISU team about a month ago and asked if we could come over to Ames to play them. We really appreciate the Cyclones agreeing to add these two exhibition games to the end of their regular season schedule this year.”
The Nebraska team wanted to get started playing against another women’s collegiate team this year. “We had fun and our players learned a lot from playing a good, established college team like ISU,” says Smith. “Our players enjoyed these two games and we intend to be playing the Cyclones and other women’s college teams in 2008-2009.”
The Huskers are in the process of exploring the possibility of joining the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) and will hopefully be on the Cyclones schedule in the future.
