Miami returns home for the final time this season to battle No. 8/9 Minnesota Duluth this weekend. The RedHawks are coming off a pair of overtime defeats at Colorado College last week (4-3 and 3-2). After earning points in the NCHC standings in two of its first 16 games, Miami has picked up at least one conference point in each of its last four contests. UMD has one win in its last seven games and tied St. Cloud State 1-1 Tuesday, winning the shootout.

Both games will be available on NCHC.tv, with puck drop at 7:05 p.m. Friday and 5:05 p.m. Saturday. WKBV 1490 AM (Richmond, Ind.) will have the radio broadcasts, with Greg Waddell and Drew Davis on the call.

Miami enters the weekend at 6-22-2 (3-16-1 NCHC), while UMD is 15-13-4 (8-8-4 NCHC).

Miami will recognize eight seniors before Saturday's home finale: Bray Crowder, Andrew Sinard, Chase Gresock, Derek Daschke, Michael Regush, Monte Graham, Scott Corbett and Matt Barry. Entering this weekend, they have produced a total of 223 points in their RedHawk careers and played a total of 639 games for Miami.

Head coach Chris Bergeron and sophomore forward PJ Fletcher met with the media this week to preview the Minnesota Duluth series.
