The Colorado College Tigers remained unbeaten as they defeated Michigan Tech 3-2 to complete a weekend sweep on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Mark Cullen and Peter Sejna each had a goal and two assists and Jeff Sanger made 26 saves for CC (4-0-0, 4-0-0 WCHA). <\/p>\n
Greg Amadio and Tim Laurila scored for the host Huskies and Matt Ulwelling had two assists. Brian Rogers made 28 saves for Tech (1-5-1, 1-5-0).<\/p>\n
“It’s a weekend sweep against a good team,” said Colorado College coach Scott Owens, “a team that’s going to win games in this building.”<\/p>\n
The only goal in the first period was scored by the Tigers’ Sejna on assists from Cullen and Justin Morrison at 5:24.<\/p>\n
After an interference penalty was assessed to Tech’s Jaron Doetzel, Mike Stuart gave CC a 2-0 lead when he scored a power-play goal 7:49 into the middle period. <\/p>\n
Michigan Tech responded quickly though. Just 10 seconds after Stuart’s goal, sophomore defenseman Greg Amadio took a pass from Ulwelling, skated in alone on the left side, and shot the puck through Sanger’s five-hole for his first collegiate goal.<\/p>\n
Colorado College then made it a two-goal game again with 3:11 left in the second period. While skating with a four-on-three advantage, Cullen fired the puck between Rogers’ legs from close range to make it 3-1.<\/p>\n
The Huskies made it a 3-2 game 7:45 into the third period. During a delayed-penalty call on CC, Laurila batted a loose puck past Sanger from a crowd in front of the net. <\/p>\n
Tech had several chances to tie the game in the final minutes of the game but Sanger and the Tigers’ defense held the Huskies off to ensure the victory.<\/p>\n
“They threw everything at us in the third period,” Owens said. “I’m happy with the four points and I’m happy with the way we battled and competed.” <\/p>\n
“It was a huge win for us,” said Sejna. “Four points on the road is always important.” <\/p>\n
Said Michigan Tech coach Tim Watters: “I thought the team played a much better game tonight. It was a hard-fought win for CC. They have a real nice hockey club. They’re going to compete for one of the top two or three spots in our league.”<\/p>\n
Colorado College finished 2-for-6 on the power play. Michigan Tech was 0-for-4.<\/p>\n
The Tigers return home to face Minnesota-Duluth next weekend. The Huskies will continue their homestand by entertaining Minnesota State-Mankato.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
