Bulldog Bit • • •
The 1985-86 Bulldogs are the last NCAA team
to eclipse the 36.0 percent power play efficiency
plateau for a season. That unit, which was an-
chored by the likes of Matt Christensen (right),
produced the sixth best single-season mark (they
connected at a staggering 36.5 percent clip) in
NCAA history.
