Duncan and Watkins leads the Sioux to a 6-2 victory.

Tonight was the first time we got to see some of the new Fighting Sioux players and get reacquainted with a few of the older Sioux players in a exhibition game against Manitoba.

First thing that I noticed tonight that big Joe Finley and Chay Genoway were back paired together on defense. Another thing that stuck out was this years version of the Fighting Sioux seems to be smaller, quicker and more talented.

Tonight, the Sioux were lead by Matt Watkins a goal and two assists and Ryan Duncan who chipped in two goals.
