The American Collegiate Hockey Association Central regional rankings were updated Tuesday, but not in favor of the CMU club hockey team.

The team’s four-game win streak to close out the ranking period was not enough to make the playoffs, as it finished the regular season ranked No. 12, two spots out.

The CMU club hockey team swept its two-game series against Northern Michigan after its fifth consecutive loss Friday night against Lindenwood.

Central (7-10) lost to Lindenwood on Friday, 6-3, and won 8-3 Saturday and 5-4 Sunday against Northern Michigan.

With three games this weekend, the CMU club hockey team looks to hault a four-game losing streak when it plays Lindenwood and Northern Michigan.

But Central (5-9) has constantly dealt with a lack-luster power play which has produced seven power-play goals out of 26 power plays. The team has also had injuries, illness and recently, coach Mike Jakubik said, commitment issues.

The club hockey came away from this weekend’s sweep by Michigan State with a better feeling than previous weekend sweeps.

However, it took four consecutive losses for the team to gauge its strengths and weaknesses after entering the weekend with a full lineup for the first time in weeks.

The looks on the players’ faces Saturday defined the club hockey team’s mood — it was a weekend to forget.

Central was swept by Saginaw Valley State after an overtime loss Friday and a seven-goal loss Saturday.

After a 4-2 homestand that included a sweep against Bowling Green, the club hockey team takes a full roster to Saginaw tonight after a weekend off.

The team plays Saginaw Valley State at 9 p.m. in the Saginaw Bay Ice Arena. The teams then play at 4 p.m. Saturday in the Isabella County Events Ice Arena.

The CMU club hockey team has this weekend off after its first 10 games.

Central is 5-3 with two overtime losses and is one of 12 teams in the Central Division to earn double-digit points early in the season out of 45 teams.

The CMU club hockey team had 91 shots on net en route to a two-game sweep against Bowling Green last weekend.
