Newly acquired forward Nate Colwell, 17, helped the Brookings Blizzard to a weekend home-and-home sweep of the Bismarck Bobcats. The native of Englewood, Colorado recorded four points (1 goal, 3 assists) in the two wins, which were the first back-to-back wins for the Blizzard since late October. On Friday, Colwell (6'2/180) had the game-winning goal and added an assist in a 6-2 road win in Bismarck. On Saturday, Colwell had two more assists, including one on the game-winning goal, in a 4-3 home win over the Bobcats. Colwell has played five games for the Blizzard since coming over from Corpus Christi and has six points in those five games played.
