Greg Pankewicz scored his league-leading 15th goal and Riley Nelson added another, as Colorado tied a franchise high for the worst loss.

Former QB donates $1 million to Wyoming
The family of David S. Cronk, a former quarterback at the University of Wyoming, has donated $1 million to the school’s Athletics Facilities Campaign. The donation will be matched by the state, making it a $2 million gift.
University athletic director Tom Burman said the money will be used toward construction of an indoor practice facility, which is underway, and renovations to War Memorial Stadium.
Cronk resides in Englewood and played quarterback for the Cowboys in 1960 and 1961.
