The scoreless streak is currently at 379 minutes of game time.
Gullo Still in National Stats
Junior goalie Jim Gullo is ranked 29th in the country in saves per game at 5.0. He made six saves against Denver last Saturday. Gullo currently leads the MPSF with 80 saves.
Freshmen Getting Good Time
Air Force head coach Doug Hill has seen a youth movement this season. Hill has played nine freshmen at different times this season. Of the eight players that have points this year, three are freshmen.
