Cardinal Notes

Andy Neu
1st-ever goal
vs. .Auggies
Ryan O'Connor (San Diego, Calif.) stopped all 18 shots he faced in posting back-to-back shutouts last week. … O'Connor's seven-save effort vs. St. Olaf last Wednesday was his first collegiate shutout. … Saturday's 2-0 win vs. Gustavus marked the first time the Cardinals have won (or tied) without Mike Schmitt (Woodridge, Ill.) scoring a goal. … Schmitt scored his team-leading seventh goal of the season vs. the Oles, then notched his first assist of the season vs. Augsburg to push his team-high point total to 15. … Schmitt has now recorded at least one point in four straight games. … Andy Neu (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) scored his first collegiate goal vs. Augsburg. … The Cardinals have now won two straight and three of their last four. … After dropping their first three home games, SMU is 2-0 in its last two home contests. … The Cardinals' two-game win streak is its first since beating Bethel and Carleton on Oct. 11 and Oct. 15, 2003.
