A two-goal lead slipped away from the Denver Pioneers after late penalties and shaky defense opened the door for St. Cloud State to steal a 4-3 win. The Pios had been riding a 12-game unbeaten run, but a major penalty and back-to-back infractions in the third period proved too much to overcome. Even with flashes of brilliance and a chance to tie it late, Denver’s defensive lapses were the story. As the team heads into the winter break, the big question is: Will these hard lessons fuel a stronger second half? What do you think the Pioneers need to fix most? #Sports #IceHockey #DenverPioneers
