Colorado State was forced to hold the home game off campus for the second time this week because of a snow storm that hit the Front Range on Monday. Even though CSU's home field was devoid of snow and relatively dry, the university decided to not take any chances. CSU hosted the game at the same indoor facility that they played Missouri in on Monday and drew a small crowd of mostly friends and family.

Sophomore goaltender Garrett Fitzgerald (Regis Jesuit; Denver, CO) did well in his first start of the year, making three saves in 30:00 of work. CSU got their other three active goalies in as well. Aggie goaltender Spencer Lee made 14 saves.

CSU (6-2 overall; 1-0 RMLC) should finally get to play at home on Saturday as the #20 Arizona State Sundevils come to town for a 1:00pm tilt. The game will mark the first time the two teams have played on Colorado State's home campus and it will be the fourth and final WCLL team on the CSU schedule.

Game Notes:
- CSU's defense got the ball on the ground a lot, generated a staggering 71 groundballs for the Rams. This is by far their highest total of the year.
- Neither team's man-up units were productive as they combined to go 0/7.
- CSU was very efficient shooting the ball as they put 30 out of 45 shots on goal.
- Junior defenseman Adam Schnirel (Mt. Lebanon HS; Pittsburgh, PA) scored the team's first long stick goal of the year on a coast to coast run in the second half.
- Senior long stick midfielder Matt Reiss (Sycamore HS; Cincinnati, OH) snatched 10 groundballs in this game, boosting him well into the team lead this season.
