The No. 14 Cyclone hockey team swept No. 13 Illinois in a two-game series this weekend.

The final score Friday night ended in a 1-0 victory, as the Cyclones (16-14) and Illini battled hard on the ice. In the second period, Cyclone defenseman Matt Bennett took advantage of the power play, and sent a shot into the net, scoring the only goal of the game.   

Saturday night, the Cyclones picked up more momentum, and left the game with a 6-0 victory over the Illini, fueled by three goals in five minutes stretch in the third period.

Iowa State’s next home games are Jan. 21-22, as the Cyclones play host to Minnesota-Crookston at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.
