Dubuque Fighting Saints News Release
ANN ARBOR, Michigan - The Fighting Saints begin their first full weekend road trip tonight against Team USA. Dubuque comes into the matchup winners of their previous two games, having defeated the Waterloo Black Hawks at home, and the Green Bay Gamblers on the road last weekend. With the two wins, the Fighting Saints moved above the .500 mark for the first time this season, but they will be tested on the road in the coming weeks.
Tonight will be the first USHL game of the season for Team USA's U18 team, which has played mostly a collegiate schedule to this point. The vast majority of the team remains intact from last season's U17 squad, but former Fighting Saints forward *Riley Barber* has been added to the mix this season.
The Fighting Saints will travel across the state of Michigan to take on the Muskegon Lumberjacks tomorrow night. Next week will bring a western road swing for the Fighting Saints, as they will travel out US-20 to visit the Sioux City Musketeers on Friday, and will head north to play the Fargo Force on Saturday night. The Fighting Saints are in the midst of playing ten of eleven games on the road.
