Black Hawks Split With The Stars Over The Weekend
Despite a disappointing home loss on Saturday night, Waterloo still has a dominating lead in the USHL Western Conference (16-5-1) holding onto an 8 point lead over the 2nd place Stars.

SATURDAY NIGHT
Waterloo was playing short-handed with 4 players unavailable (3 players were at the World Junior A Challenge and another suspended for a game) and a string of 4 consecutive Lincoln goals was more than the Black Hawks could overcome Saturday night during a 5-3 loss at Young Arena.
FRIDAY NIGHT
The Black Hawks trailed much of the way on Friday night, but the Hawks forced overtime against the Lincoln Stars before pulling out a 3-2 shootout victory. During the shootout, the only successful attempt came on the final try during the three-round tie-breaker. Kyle Haskins came through the left circle and flipped the puck over net-minder's right shoulder to lift Waterloo to the victory.
