The Hogs would bounce back with just over 5 minutes remaining in the 1^st period as Dominic de la Guardia propelled Michael Ellis in on a 2-on-1, who gave a perfect pass to Zach Riley for the tying goal. The 2^nd period started with a 1-1 tie but did not last long. Chris Stovall picked up a loose puck and fed it to Griffin Sugasawara for a breakaway goal early in the 2^nd period. That was all the Razorbacks would need for the 2-1 win, as goalie Jozef Dusenka stopped 19 of 20 shots for his 13^th win of the season.

Arkansas looked for the season sweep on Saturday. The beginning of the game looked much the same as Friday’s, as Missouri State took the early 1-0 lead on a power play goal.

Chris Stovall, Evan Kerr, and Cameron McAtee would each go on to score a goal in a span of just 3:21 to give Arkansas a 4-1 lead at the end of the 2^nd period.

The #1 Arkansas Razorbacks (26-3-0) finished up a busy fall schedule with a two-game split against #4 Kansas (15-6-0) on December 13^th and 14^th. The first game was a tight battle until freshman Zach Wilson broke the tie with just 25 seconds remaining in the first period, giving Arkansas the 1-0 lead after 1 period. Kansas would come back to tie the game early in the second period, but Arkansas responded with a goal from Cameron McAtee.

The Hogs looked for the sweep in the second and final game of the weekend. Despite dominating much of the game with 49 shots on net, the Razorbacks struggled to break through.

The #1 ranked Arkansas Razorbacks (26-3-0) finished off the fall portion of their schedule with a split against #3 Kansas (15-6-0). A packed schedule for the Razorbacks saw them play 29 games during the first semester, the most of any team in the country (with the second-most playing just 23 games). Arkansas began the season with 11 straight wins before dropping a game to Michigan. Following that loss, the Ice Hogs ripped off 13 more consecutive wins. Those collective runs of consecutive wins helped establish Arkansas as the number 1 ranked team in both the Pacific Region and SECHC in every computer ranking.

Scoring has certainly been no issue for the Razorbacks, as they have been held to 2 goals or less in just four games. Arkansas holds national leads for goals per game and total goals by a wide margin at 7.48goals/game and 217 goals total. Moreover, that scoring has been spread throughout the lineup, with 20 players recording 10 points or more and 24 players having recorded a goal so far this season. Goaltending has also been particularly strong, with three goalies sharing time to combine for a team save percentage of .918. Goaltender Jozef Dusenka has put together a stellar season, leading the country in wins with 12. He is also 3^rd in the country in shutouts (2), 4^th in the country in minutes played (780 minutes), 6^th in the country in GAA (1.85 goals against average), and 9^th in the country in save percentage (.926).

The outlook for the spring is much shorter than the fall. The Hogs get back on the ice when they hit the road against Missouri State (10-7-1) on January 24^th and 25^th. Arkansas then hosts DII East Texas Baptist (19-1-1) on January 31^st and February 1^st. The following weekend, the Razorbacks head to Nashville for the SECHC Tournament on February 6-8, before returning home to celebrate our seniors and finish out the regular season against Alabama (8-7-1) during the weekend of February 14^th and 15^th. The Hogs then head off to the ACHA National Championships in Frisco, TX at the Comerica Center. Round robin action takes place March 24^th, 25^th, and 26^th, with the semifinals on March 27^th and final on March 28^th.

The Arkansas Razorbacks (25-2-0, #1 Pacific Region) took on the Ole Miss Rebels (10-5-0, #9 South Region) in two games this past weekend.

Ole Miss would open the scoring with two goals in the second period, before Chris Stovall cut the lead in half with four minutes left. Ole Miss scored the lone goal in the third period, handing Arkansas just its second loss of the season. Alex Kalmes stopped 60 of 63 shots on net in the loss.

Saturday afternoon’s game started out the same way, with no goals in the first period. Ole Miss opened the scoring early in the second period, but Cameron McAtee answered back to tie the game at 1-1. Ole Miss scored in the last minute of the period to take a 2-1 lead into the third period. The final period was all Arkansas, as Zach Wilson scored two goals, Chris Stovall added one, and McAtee scored the game-winner and his second of the afternoon. Jozef Dusenka turned away 35 of 37 shots en route to the 5-2 win, his twelfth win of the season.
