Cope is the Bears’ second-leading scorer this season with five goals and nine assists for 14 points. He has totaled two or more points in each of the last four games and his average of 1.56 points-per-game continues to lead all conference freshmen.

Ellis stopped 35 of 36 shots he faced to earn his fourth victory of the season against the Red Dragons. The goaltender then stopped 47 of 52 shots against the Lakers. On the season, Ellis is 4-4 with a save percentage of .903 and a goals against average of 3.63.
