Rush And Mavericks Meet In North Semifinals
March 26, 2010 - Central Hockey League (CHL) News Release
The final series in the CHL conference semifinals has been set after the Missouri Mavericks defeated the Mississippi RiverKings on Thursday night by a score of 3-1 in their deciding game of their Opening Round best-of-3 series. The Mavericks will now advance to play the Northern Conference Champion Rapid City Rush in a best-of-7 Northern Conference Semifinals series beginning on Saturday night in Missouri.
Although the Rush are the higher seed, building availability at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center has forced the series to take an unconventional route with Games One and Two taking place at the Independence Events Center before heading back to South Dakota for the next three contests.
The entire series schedule is as follows:
