Hockey Blanks Air Force to Complete Sweep

Backed by Cole Bruns' shutout performance, the Army West Point hockey team completed its weekend sweep of Air Force on the road with a 2-0 victory. The Black Knights picked up four points on the weekend to move back into the top of Atlantic Hockey Standings ahead of Niagara by one point. This is the first time since 2003 that Army has swept the Falcons on the road. The 2-0 victory was the first time since 2007 that the Black Knights have blanked Air Force. That victory was also at Cadet Ice Arena. Air Force was shutout at home for the first time since 2014 when it faced Denver. Army defeated a ranked opponent back-to-back for the first time in program history. It was the Black Knights' second sweep on the road this year, the other coming against AIC on opening weekend. The Black Knights are now 5-1-0 on the road. This was the second time this season that Army and its opponent have skated to a 0-0 draw through the first period. The other was the Black Knights' second matchup against AIC on Oct. 7. Army won 2-1. Read More
