The Bulldogs were blanked for the second time this season by Denver, 1-0, in a NCHC game Saturday night at Amsoil Arena. Fourth-ranked UMD defeated the seventh-ranked Pioneers 5-2 Friday night. The Bulldogs fell to 18-8-2 overall and 11-6-1 in the NCHC, good for second-place in the league and two points ahead of third-place Western Michigan (17-10-1, 10-7-1-1), which split a weekend series against fifth-place North Dakota.
