The KU club hockey team extended the winning streak it started at the beginning of the spring semester.
After a two-game sweep of Oklahoma State last weekend, the hockey team brought the streak to eight and their overall record to 14-11.
The Jayhawks did not show any mercy to the visiting Cowboys, outscoring them 25-3 in two games. Kansas won the game on Saturday in a blowout, 17-2. Junior forward Steve Barbaro led the team with five goals, including the final three goals of the game. Junior forward David Knight, who leads the team in scoring for the season, and freshman forward Matthew Zellmer., both had three goals.
Yesterday, Kansas came out quick and scored the first five goals of the game. The only blemish on the stat line for the Jayhawks was when freshman goaltender Adam Paulitsch, who took over in net for sophomore Zach Sias after the first period, allowed a goal to get past him in the first 2 minutes of the final period. The one goal allowed came among 27 shots by Oklahoma State. Kansas was able to get 40 shots on goal for the game and added three more goals in the final period.
Freshman forward Scott Haman led all scorers with two goals, including one unassisted. On his second goal, Haman put back a rebound off of a shot by freshman forward Dan Guilfoil, who also had a goal to go along with his assist.
“We were on a two on one and he took the original shot and I got the rebound and put it up top,” Haman said.
A few seniors were also able to add some stats in what was scheduled to be their last home game at Kansas. There is still a possibility of playing Division I Oklahoma at home.
Most notably, senior forward David Hall scored a goal in the second period and assisted in the final goal of the game.
“It’s good to finish off the year like that, especially my career here,” Hall said. “I had my family out and some friends out, so it was nice to do that in front of them.”
Both senior forward Alexander Brown and senior defender Kyle Wilson assisted in the first goal of the game. Senior forward Joseph Barghini scored an unassisted, short-handed goal in the second period.
The leadership of the seniors has begun to show on the play and attitude of the younger players.
“The seniors are awesome. They have good leadership and make this game as fun as possible for us,” Guilfoil said. “They’re going out and giving it their all every shift and letting us know what to work on all the time.”
The Jayhawks are scheduled to finish their season against Missouri on March 5 and 6. Whether they win or lose both games in Columbia, Mo., the hockey team has done its part to join a league next year.
The team had to finish the season over .500, which it clinched with the victory yesterday. Now it will come down to a vote by the teams in the league whether or not to allow Kansas to join the league next year.
