The win on Saturday night was Fargo’s 49th of the season, setting the new USHL single-season wins record. The 49 wins surpasses the 48 wins Des Moines had in 1998-99. Fargo has now become the first team to hit the century mark in the standings with 49 wins and two OT losses for thos 100 points. The only team record the Force cannot obtain is the best winning percentage which is still held by that 1198-98 Des Moines team who won an amazing .866 of their games that season.
Records are meant to be broken and tonight the @FargoForce have set a new USHL record for most single-season wins.
They defeat the Des Moines Bucs 5-4 and dethrone the 1998-99 Bucs team that won 48 games as well as an Anderson Cup!#StarsRise | #MakingHistory pic.twitter.com/AatKpjJq7e
