MANSFIELD, Texas - Keeping up with their winning formula winning their fourth straight game, the #12 East Texas Baptist University hockey team swept two more games from Texas Christian University this past weekend. ETBU has now played TCU six time this season due to COVID scheduling.

Game one required ETBU to overcome an early two-goal deficit to win 5-3. Davis VanGemerden recorded two goals to lead ETBU while Blake Branum had two assists on the night. Filip Soderstrom, Devon Baird, and Caleb Goudreau also netted goals for ETBU. Tyler Fitzgerald would make 16 saves on 19 shots in net.

The Tigers then followed up with an 8-3 win on Saturday to pick up their 10th win of the season. Goudreau and Mitchell Dolese would each have two goals in the game for ETBU. Austin Filippo would be in net and record 27 saves.
