With only six regular season games left, the M1 Saints ready to close out regular season play on the right foot. In January, Maryville finished with a 3-0 record with two wins against Waldorf and one versus McKendree. Due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, the first four games of the semester against Illinois State and Northern Illinois were cancelled.
 
The 16-5-1 Saints, currently ranked No. 13 in the country, start February action on the road against in-state rival Missouri State. The Ice Bears are currently ranked ninth nationally with a season record of 17-8-1. Maryville will take on Missouri State from Springfield, Mo., Friday, Feb. 4, and Saturday, Feb. 5. Both games will be at the Jordan Valley Ice Park and streamed live on the WebSports Radio YouTube channel.
