In the first series of the long Alaskan road trip, the Huskies faced the Seawolves of Alaska – Anchorage at Sullivan Arena.

Following Jackson's goal on the major to Rivera during the delayed penalty call on Brickley, Rob Gilreath expected to see a 5x3 for the Huskies and was quite surprised when the penalty just disappeared.

The Huskies met the end of their season Saturday against the #1 overall seed Denver Pioneers. The Pioneers scored four unanswered first period goals leaving the Huskies with an unenviable challenge.
