Steve d'Eustachio Stat of the Game: The Dragons won their first two NSIC games on the road last year to begin conference play (U-Mary and Minot State) as well as this year with tonight's win (Northern State and UM Crookston), marking the first time that the Dragons have won their first two NSIC games when played on the road in back-to-back seasons, since winning at Bemidji State and at UM Duluth in December 2009, then again at BSU and UMD in December 2010.
