(Anchor) WHEN YOU HONOR YOUR ONLY GRADUATING SENIOR, YOU HAVE TO WIN, RIGHT? THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT THE U-N-C HOCKEY TEAM DID FRIDAY, BEATING M-S-U DENVER SIX TO TWO AT THE GREELEY ICE HAUS. THE BEARS HONORED FORWARD ALEX CUPPLES IN A PRE-GAME CEREMONY, PRESENTING HIM WITH A PLAQUE AND HANGING HIS JERSEY ON THE BENCH. AS FOR THE GAME, NORTHERN COLORADO GOT GOALS FROM FIVE DIFFERENT PLAYERS FOR THE SECOND TIME IN AS MANY HOME GAMES. U-N-C LED 2-1 AFTER THE FIRST PERIOD AND SCORED TWICE IN THE THIRD TO LEAD 4-1 AFTER TWO. NO HAT TRICK THIS TIME, BUT TRUMAN GONZALES DID SCORE TWO GOALS. THE BEARS ARE HEADED TO THE PLAYOFFS AGAIN THIS YEAR AFTER CLAIMING THEIR SECOND CONSECUTIVE CONFERENCE TITLE.   BUT BEFORE THAT, THEY HAVE ONE REGULAR SEASON GAME REMAINING, AS THEY TAKE ON AIR FORCE AT 8:15 FRIDAY.
