Saturday vs NAU (win 6-0)

This is a rematch of last year's Pink the Rink game, which saw NAU play spoilers, beating CMU 5-3 in last year's matchup. This year's game wouldn't be the same.
 
Senior Collin Fitzgerald started the game with a rifle from the point that found the back of the net for a 1-0 CMU lead heading into the 1st intermission. The Mavericks would also keep the Ice jacks to only five shots to the Mavericks 10 in the first period.
 
The second period would see much of the same domination from the Mavericks and quickly as freshman Ryan Koch would net his 2nd of the season just 12 seconds into the period. Collin Fitzgerald again would find himself on the scoresheet, with his team leading 7th goal on the season. The second period would end on a shorthanded goal by Mason Ripley marking his first goal on the 2023-24 campaign.
 
In the third the Mavericks would kill off all six penalties against them. On one of their few power plays in the game, Mason Ripley would again score, for his second of the night and the season. The exclamation point of the night came on a 4-on-4 that saw defenseman Seth Kern set up Bryson Sutterby for the 6th CMU goal of the game and would be the final goal of the 6-0 Maverick win.
 
Goaltender Chris McElroy would cap off his weekend with an impressive 31 save shutout, he would stop 57 of the 61(.934) shots he faced in both Thursday's and Saturday's game.
