The University of Wyoming hockey club, fronted by Matt Schulz (Casper) and Billy Ross (Boulder, Colo.), swept a two-game weekend series against Mesa State College.
In their final home series of the 2010-11 season, the Cowboys won 9-3 Friday at the Laramie Ice and Events Center and 8-3 Saturday at the Taco John's Events Center in Cheyenne to snap a three-game losing skid and improve to 8-11-1.

Ross added three goals -- including a penalty shot in the second period of Friday's game -- and seven assists for UW.
Mitch Nelson (Sheridan) contributed a goal and three assists in the weekend series for the Cowboys.
Kyle Quintal (Cheyenne) and Cole Younger (Eagle River, Alaska) each had a pair of goals for UW, and Dustin Galbreath (Greenwich, Conn.) and Jake Marcus (Douglas) also netted goals.
