Fargo Force News Release
The BlackHawks visit the Force at the Urban Plains Center looking to hold on to their fourth place position in the eastern conference. The Force have different plans and are looking to secure a playoff position and can do so with a sweep of Waterloo and a Sioux City loss. In that event the Western Conference Playoff Champions would have the opportunity to defend their title and make a trip to the playoffs for the second time in their two year existence.
FAIRBANKS, AK - Alaska Nanooks freshman right wing Andy Taranto (Woodridge, IL, Fargo (USHL)) collected his second Central Collegiate Hockey Association accolade this week, as he was named the CCM CCHA Rookie of the Month for February Tuesday afternoon. This is the second time he has earned the award this season.
Taranto, who led the USHL in goals last season with 34 for the Fargo Force, was named CCHA Rookie of the Week on March 1 and Feb. 25 after registering five points each weekend to lead Alaska to a pair of series sweeps. He tallied a goal and four assists, including helpers on both game-winning goals, as the Nanooks took two from Lake Superior (Feb. 19-20). Taranto followed up that performance with a 3-1-4 line in a victory over UAA, 7-4 (Feb. 26). His first hat trick lifted the Nanooks to a 4-1 win during a visit to Ohio State (Feb. 12).
