Husky baseball extends winning streak to 14

The SCSU Husky baseball team is surging this season, putting up a 21-2 record through April 8. The team is currently on a 14-game winning streak with sweeps over University of Sioux Falls, Minot State University, and University of Minnesota Crookston.

The Huskies are 10-0 in the NSIC, which is ranked at the top in the conference. SCSU is ranked fourth in NCBWA poll and fifth in the National DII Baseball News Poll.

Part of the reason for such great success is their pitching. The Huskies currently lead the NCAA DII ranks with a 1.40 ERA. Scott Lieser leads the team with 7 wins followed by Kyle Fischer’s 6 wins.

The team results for the squad didn’t end the way Drew LeBlanc wanted to as the SCSU Huskies lost to Quinnipiac on Thursday night.

Individually, though, the senior forward has to be quite proud of himself and probably needs to clear some space on his trophy case if he has any room left.

After capping off a historic season, LeBlanc was named the 33rd NCAA Hobey Baker Award Winner, which was announced on Friday afternoon at the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh.

A disappointing ending to the season would only be putting it mildly for the SCSU Huskies.

A disappointing ending to a pair of great collegiate careers would help sum it up.

However, the end to SCSU’s season did write school history.

The Quinnipiac Bobcats scored quickly, didn’t look back from there and cruised past the Huskies 4-1 in the second Frozen Four semifinal and into the championship game against ECAC conference rival Yale.

SCSU and Quinnipiac will be tough for Vegas to judge

I’ve examined many sports betting sites during the day. Mostly because I have a gambling problem. And partly because I wanted to see whether the Huskies were favored during Thursday’s Frozen Four match-up against Quinnipiac.

My searches wound up unsuccessful and the only response came from someone on Twitter who told me that SCSU was +130, meaning that if you bet $10, you would win $13. In other words, if this line were to be true (and I have no idea where this tweeter got this from), the Huskies are not expected to win.
