Super fan Arin Lewis showing off his new COC hockey jersey and puckWith the Cougars having their unbeaten streak on the line headed into a two game weekend, they yet again prevailed in fashion. Heading into the weekend the Cougars were 16 and 0 looking to add two more wins to the books with the opponents being Fresno State and San Jose State. The first match-up was against the Fresno State Bulldogs. COC's win against the Bulldogs two weeks ago gave the Cougars confidence to head into the game with high hopes. The Cougars came out with a little Former Fresno Monsters turned Cougar Justin Wilmers, Ben Conroy, and Mike Richmond presenting Arin with his new COC swagmore determination than the previous game against the Bulldogs and beat Fresno by a score of 15 to 1 on Friday night. The scoring was spread around the team with 11 different players scoring goals in the game. Mikey McGrath was in the net and recorded the win for the Cougars. The Cougars were being supported by man people during the Fresno game, but none with the intensity and sheer drive of Arin. COC Coach John Taferner, along with three COC players, presented Arin with a COC hockey jersey and puck to show their appreciation of Arin and his unwavering support.  Thanks Arin! The following night COC faced San Jose State, a team that they have not faced all season but had no problem with. The highlight of the night was the starting goaltender for the Cougars Kasey Morris. After sitting out the first half of the season he was added to the roster for the second half and got his first start in net on Saturday night. Not only was he solid in net but the Cougar's came out firing on all cylinders and won by a score of 21 to 4 improving their record to 18 and 0. It was clearly a great weekend for the Cougar hockey team and were able to continue their quest for a national championship. They have a game against University of New Mexico next Sunday at 12:45 in the afternoon so come out and support your Cougars.

GO COUGARS!!!!!!
