Their win Saturday also snapped a two-game losing streak. The conference title was San Diego States third in the last five years. San Diego State won its 10th game of the season and now has back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time while being a member of a conference in its Division I history since 1969.We have a great group of seniors, Long said. They came to our program when we werent very good and I told them we were going to be pretty good and they believed and theyve worked hard this whole time and they deserve everything they get.Wyoming: The Cowboys and third-year coach Bohl, who signed a contract extension on Friday, have nothing to hang their heads about. They surprised everyone by winning their conference division after finishing just 2-10 last year. It was Wyomings first Mountain West Conference title game and the first postseason game ever at its 67-year-old War Memorial Stadium. The Cowboys last played in the conference title game back in 1996 when they were in the Western Athletic Conference.The real problem for the rest of us is that Wyoming is just going to get better and better and thats a problem for all the rest of us, Long said.PUMPHREY-NCAA RUSHING LISTPumphrey passed Ricky Williams for second place on the NCAA career rushing list with 6,290.

The 17-year-old from Cole Harbour, N.S., grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck in the second period, scoring at even strength, on the power play and while shorthanded as the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champions exploded for five straight goals to cruise past the Portland Winterhawks 7-4 in both teams first game at the tournament. "I think we definitely earned a little bit more respect," MacKinnon told a massive media gathering. "Obviously coming from the (QMJHL), sometimes we get looked down upon a little bit but I thought we had a good game and definitely sent a message." The slick centre, ranked as the No. 2 North American skater for next months draft behind Portland defenceman Seth Jones, added an assist to his hat trick, while Martin Frk, with a goal and an assist, Jonathan Drouin, Luca Ciampini and Stephen MacAuley also scored for a Halifax team that found itself down 3-1 early in the second. Zachary Fucale was strong in net, making 37 saves to get the win as the Mooseheads got off to the start they wanted in the round-robin event to decide the CHL title. "Obviously (MacKinnon) wont be scoring three goals every night but at the same time hes a guy that competes all the time. Tonight he made things happen," Mooseheads coach Dominique Ducharme said. "He was skating. He was hard on the puck. It was hard to get the puck away from him. He was strong on it and obviously he was a key player in our comeback. "Hes the kind of player that can make a difference like that." The game featured three top ranked North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting ahead of next months draft in Jones, who had a goal in the first period for Portland, MacKinnon and Drouin. And while Jones is still expected to go first overall in Newark, N.J., this night belonged to the kid from Sidney Crosbys hometown. "The (NHL) teams here that are watching us have watched all of us play many times this year. I dont know how much this game is going to change anything," said MacKinnon as he sported a black fur coat given out by the Mooseheads coaches to their player of game. "Obviously its nice to get a few (goals) but I just wanted to win and Im glad we did." Troy Rutkowski had two goals for Portland, while Tie Rattie added a goal and two assists. A shaky Mac Carruth allowed seven goals on 35 shots in taking the loss for the Western Hockey Leagues top team, which is ranked No. 2 in the CHL. Ranked as the No. 1 North American skater for the draft in the early part of the season before being overtaken by Jones, MacKinnon put an exclamation point on his performance late in the second period to put the game effectively out of reach. With a goal and an assist already in his back pocket and the Mooseheads up 4-3, he danced around the big Winterhawks defenceman on a Halifax power play at and beat Carruth at 14:03 before firing a shot past the beleaguered netminder from behind the Portland goal-line with 1:25 left in the period. "Hes a great offensive player, very dynamic. Hes got great foot speed," Jones said. "You saw on his second goal coming down against mee -- a quick inside-outside move -- its tough to contain.ddddddddddddquot; With the teams tied 1-1 after the first, goals came fast and furious in the second. Rutkowski scored on a shot from the point after just 39 seconds and Rattie wove through the Halifax defence on a Portland power play before sliding a backhand home at 2:11 to put the Winterhawks up by two. The two-goal deficit seemed to spark the Mooseheads, who scored the games next five goals. Drouin popped a rebound at 3:16 before MacKinnon scored his first of the night on a deflection 1:20 later. After the Winterhawks Oliver Bjorkstrand chimed a shot off the crossbar behind Fucale about eight minutes into the period, Ciampini gave Halifax the lead by walking out of the corner and beating Carruth on the power play at 11:17. MacKinnon then went to work offensively on the power play and the penalty kill to put Halifax in the drivers seat. "It wasnt the start (to the tournament) we wanted. It was the start to the game we wanted. I thought we played real well for about 25 to 27 minutes and the game got away from us for about 10 minutes there," Winterhawks coach Travis Green said. "They got a couple of bounces and theyre a good team and the momentum went to their side." Rutkowski scored on a Portland man advantage at 1:09 of the third to cut the Halifax lead to 6-4, but MacAulay restored the Mooseheads three-goal edge at 5:33. It wasnt as easy early on for the Mooseheads as the Winterhawks, who carried the play for much of the first period in outshooting Halifax 16-7, were unlucky to be only tied 1-1 heading to the second. Rattie ripped off a puck off the post for Portland that stayed out five minutes into the game and Fucale was forced to make a couple of big saves for a Halifax team that was a bit scrambly in its own zone. Despite having the better chances, the Winterhawks trailed 1-0 after MacKinnon wheeled into the offensive zone and found Frk in the slot, who beat Carruth through the five-hole at 15:46. Jones evened the score just 55 seconds later by taking a pass from Tyler Wotherspoon off the rush and beating Fucale with a snapshot over the glove. "We didnt have the first period we wanted," Ducharme said. "After their third goal in the second we came back with our strength and played much better. Were happy with the win but we know we can be much better (over) 60 minutes. "We were not skating as well as were able to skate. We were not applying pressure. We were watching them a little bit too much and we were not as active as we want to be. "When we started doing that we played better."
