"Why not, Minot?" an annual event that brings together teams from Minnesota and Montana in late February. On Saturday, the Bobcats cruised to a 18-3 over the UMD Bulldogs backed by a complete team win. On Sunday, the Cats battled against UMLC rival St. Thomas but came up short in a 16-11 loss.
The Cats ended the Rocky Mountain Rumble 2-1 with nice wins over MSU Denver (19-3) and Cal State San Marcos (13-9) and an unfortunate loss to RMLC Rival Air Force (16-15). A loss is never an easy thing, but we were able to learn a lot about our team. With 6 starters leaving from the 2024 team, nerves were to be expected starting the season off against an Air Force team with a near identical roster as last year. Led by senior faceoff man Jack Causey (3G , the Cats took the battle to Air Force. Our offense appeared more fluid and balanced, and our defense won the ground ball and 1v1 challenges, but a loss is a loss. We are expecting to play Air Force again at least once, if not twice this season.
