It was a close vote, but in the end Andrew
Lange was named the Ski
MVP for his performance last weekend. It is
the second time that Andrew has won the award overall,
first this season. See the numbers and read the
comments here.
The Skis hit the road this holiday weekend for two
against the top two teams in the East. The Skis
first five wins were all against teams with losing
records. The one loss was against the only team
they have played to date with a winning record,
divisional opponent Upsala. Buckman and Lastrup
have a combined record of 8-2. This will be a good
measure of the strength of the team this season.
