Crookston, Minn. - The Golden Eagles are back at home this weekend as they play host to the University of Minnesota Duluth. The Bulldogs are 4-12-0 this season, they enter the weekend on a four game losing streak. They also are currently sporting a -21 goal differential. The Golden Eagles are writing themselves a much different story than their opponents, coming in at 8-2-0, riding a two game win streak and having won three of their last four. The Golden Eagles also have a +29 goal differential. 

The Golden Eagles have played the Bulldogs four times in program history, and currently are 2-1-1 in the all-time series. It was a rough start for the Golden Eagles in these matchups, losing the first one against the Bulldogs 6-4 and then tying the second game 4-4. Last year, the Golden Eagles flipped the script with 7-2 and 10-2 wins. With 25 total goals, the Golden Eagles average 6.25 goals per game, with 14 goals against for an average of 3.5 per game. 

This weekend's Golden Eagles Player to Watch is Kadin Edwards (Fr., F, Crookston, Minn.) who has goals in three of the last four games. Edwards has been a dominant presence in the last few weekends, and arguably his biggest contribution has been in the physical aspect. Edwards has been using his size and speed to win in every aspect of the game, he has mainly been using that size to be a key contributor in front of the net. Edwards has four goals in 10 games in his freshman season. 

Puck drop on Friday between the Golden Eagles and Bulldogs is set for 7 p.m. while Saturday's puck drop will be at 1 p.m. for Youth Day. Following this weekend's games, the Golden Eagles have one more home series this semester as they host Dakota College at Bottineau November 29th and 30th.
