When Eric Means was hired as Minnesota State's women's hockey coach, he said the goal was to establish the Mavericks as the clear-cut No. 4 team in the WCHA and challenge the Big 3 -- Wisconsin, Minnesota and Minnesota Duluth -- from there.
Well, that task just got a little more interesting as Minnesota's mightily talented Lamoureux twins -- Monique and Jocelyne -- announced that they were transferring to North Dakota. The twins, who just finished their freshman season, will have to sit out a year but will likely be members of the U.S. Olympic team next season anyway.
The forwards, who are from Grand Forks, N.D., ranked Nos. 2 and 3 in the WCHA in scoring and ended the Mavericks' season by combining for four goals and two assists in the Gophers' WCHA 7-2 semifinal victory over MSU in the league tournament.

Minnesota State and North Dakota tied for fifth place in the WCHA last season.
