Sophomore goaltender Jared Coreau is finding his stride.<\/strong>  Coreau &#8212; who shares the net with senior Reid Ellingson &#8212; posted a record of 3-1-0 in December and improved to 2.13 goals against and a .925 save percentage. On the season so far he&#8217;s 5-2-1 with two no-decisions, and his numbers are significantly better than those he had his freshman campaign (3.71, .909).  The Wildcats need consistency in net; Coreau may provide it in the second half.<br \/>\n<strong>2.  Senior forward Tyler Gron is poised to have a great second half.<\/strong>  After netting 14 goals in his first two seasons, Gron had 17 in 34 games in 2010-11.  He had two against Tech to bring his first-half total for this season to nine (9-8&#8211;17), which includes three on the power play.  Gron&#8217;s quick with a good eye for the puck and a real sense for scoring, but that doesn&#8217;t always translate into scoring consistency.  He broke a six-game goal-scoring drought Nov. 18 against Michigan State and has netted five in seven games since and including that one.<br \/>\n<strong>3.  NMU made the most of its first-half schedule.<\/strong> The Wildcats went 7-1-3 at home in the first half, doing exactly as they should have with a schedule that had them at home a lot before January.  They&#8217;re on the road for most of the second half, with six games remaining at home.<br \/>\n<strong>A light schedule<\/strong><br \/>\nAt some point this week &#8212; and I don&#8217;t know when yet &#8212; I&#8217;ll have a look back at the first half of the season, here in the blog.  I&#8217;m aiming for Wednesday morning, when my column would otherwise be published.  The next column comes out in the middle of next week, and it&#8217;ll look at the second half of the season.<br \/>\nAs always, tweet (@paulacweston), email (paula.weston@uscho.com) or comment below.
