University of Denver Pioneers top Lethbridge in opening exhibition

The Denver Pioneers unofficially began their title defense at Magness Arena Sunday evening, defeating the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns 3-1 in an exhibition game.

Denver got contributions from across the lineup and built a 3-0 lead to dispatch the Horns, who fell 4-1 to Colorado College Saturday. Lethbridge will conclude their tour of Colorado with an exhibition against No. 17 Air Force Monday night.

The exhibition match gave us a potential look at how Jim Montgomery might construct the lines and pairings going forward.

The first line, if it is indeed left intact, is sure to be a powerhouse capable of matching any other line in the country.
