The Wolverines can feel fortunate that they pinned down both.
After giving Niagara its first-ever Division I victory last weekend, one could say that the Michigan hockey team was pretty ticked.
Alaska-Fairbanks had the unfortunate duty of being the opponent after the disappointing loss. The Nanooks were in the wrong place at the wrong time this weekend, and they were swept by the Wolverines. Michigan (3-0 CCHA, 4-1 overall) bombed the Nanooks, 6-1, Friday night and edged them, 2-1, Saturday.

The last time the Michigan volleyball team recorded a shutout in a game was in 1996, in the first game of a match against Eastern Michigan. In that game, then-sophomore Jeanine Szczesniak served all 15 points.
Given the team's recent subpar level of play, there was no reason to expect a shutout Saturday against Iowa. But in the third game of the match, Michigan came out blazing. Senior captain Jane Stevens served the first seven points of the game, and the Wolverines never looked back, breaking their streak and blanking Iowa 15-0.Shutout propels Blue to victory over Iowa
