Tri-City (19-13-4-4) has risen to 4th place in the USHL's Western Conference standings following back-to-back wins over Omaha. The Storm posted a 12-2 win over the Lancers Sunday evening at the Viaero Center, and a 6-0 victory last night on the road at Liberty First Credit Union Arena. Tri-City has won each of its first three games played against Omaha this season, and won last year's series with a final record of 8-1-0-1 in head-to-head battles in the in-state rivalry. The Storm is 14-3-2-2 in games played against the Lancers the last five seasons at the Viaero Center following Sunday's ten-goal victory. Tri-City improved to 14-3-0-2 when leading after the 1st period, and 15-0-2-0 when leading after the 2nd period in last night's six-goal road win over Omaha. Zach Bade (5,6), Cam Briere (15,16), Blake Steenerson (4), and A.J. Lacroix (8) scored goals for the Storm in the victory. Cameron Korpi recorded his second shutout of the season in goal for Tri-City in a 21-save performance.

Omaha (7-30-3-0) was held off of the scoreboard for the fourth time this season in last night's six-goal home loss to Tri-City.
