St. Cloud charged out to a fast lead in the first period with a power-play goal by Justin Fletcher at 2:08. Assists were credited on the play by Billy Hengen and Brock Hooton.<\/p>\n
SCSU padded its first period lead with a goal by Andrew Gordon at 7:41 of the first with assists from Joe Jensen and Matt Stephenson. Junior captain Borer scored his first career goal at 17:03 to complete the first-period scoring. Jensen and Fletcher both charted assists on Borer’s goal.

SCSU notched goal number six at 18:29 of the second as Konrad Reeder rolled one past Michigan Tech goalie Michael-Lee Teslak. The goal was Reeder’s first of the 2005-06 season. John Swanson gained the assist on the play. After two periods, SCSU held a 23-6 shot advantage over Michigan Tech. <\/p>\n
In the third period, St. Cloud struck again to make it 7-0 at 2:02 on the power play with a well-crafted goal by sophomore Matt Hartman. Fletcher and goaltender Bobby Goepfert notched assists on the play. The assist for Goepfert was his first as a Husky.<\/p>\n
“I was happy for the guys,” SCSU coach Bob Motzko said. “Our guys really played within their systems throughout the night.”<\/p>\n
SCSU finished the game with 34 shots on goal and held Michigan Tech to just 14 shots in the game. On the power play, SCSU was 4-of-10 and MTU was 0-of-8. It was SCSU’s first shutout and highest goal total since a 10-0 win over Yale on Oct. 30, 2004.<\/p>\n
