After dropping two previous games earlier in the season in 5-1 fashion to No. 20 Minnesota Duluth, St. Cloud State finally had one go in their favor. <\/p>\n
The Huskies used two third period goals, including the game-winner from sophomore forward Tony Mosey to edge the Bulldogs 3-1 in St. Cloud Friday night. <\/p>\n
UMD took little time getting on the scoreboard, as freshman forward Mike Connolly scored an even-strength goal at the four-minute mark of the first with an assist by sophomore right-winger Justin Fontaine. <\/p>\n
Just as St. Cloud had numerous scoring chances go unheard over the next seven minutes, Duluth senior captain Matt Greer was called for an interference penalty at the 11:19 mark of the first, setting the Huskies up on a power play.<\/p>\n
After throwing an assault of shots on Bulldogs’ junior netminder Alex Stalock, the Huskies found the back of the net at the 12:36 mark of the first for the equalizer. SCSU junior forward Ryan Lasch notched the game at one after collecting a rebound off a shot from the left point and backhanding a shot of his own over Stalock’s glove hand. <\/p>\n
After the first period, the Huskies had out-shot UMD 15-8. Both teams were held scoreless in the second, as neither squad was able to find a rhythm.<\/p>\n
The Huskies broke the tie early in the third at the 2:33 mark when Mosey found himself coming onto the ice after a change. Senior defender Brett Borgen found Barta, who then threw an end-to-end pass to Mosey on the right wing. Mosey got past the UMD defender and fired a rifle from the top of the right circle, beating Stalock five-hole. <\/p>\n
“I came off the bench and just noticed that we had control, so I figured I might as well try to get a breakaway and sure enough it worked out,” Mosey said with a smile. “Barta made a great pass, and I actually thought I didn’t have that much time, that’s why I shot kind of early, but I guess it worked out.”<\/p>\n
The Huskies added their third goal of the game some twelve minutes later when freshman defender Sam Zabkowicz and sophomore forward Aaron Marvin found sophomore Brian Volpei for a tap-in on top of the UMD crease. <\/p>\n
“Marvin made a great play out of the corner,” SCSU head coach Bob Motzko said. “That helped give us some breathing room.”<\/p>\n
Both goalies played exceptionally well in the contest, but it was Huskies’ junior goaltender Jase Weslosky who stood on his head in the third period, stopping all fourteen Duluth. <\/p>\n
“That’s what happens when you’re lanky I guess,” Weslosky joked. “You have to roll around and stuff hits you; it was good, we kind of got scrambling around and I was lucky enough for some of those to make their way into and off of me. It was a good third period for us and a good end to a tough win.”<\/p>\n
The Huskies (11-9-1, 6-7 WCHA) and the Bulldogs (9-6-6, 5-5-5 WCHA) will do battle again Saturday night at the National Hockey Center in St. Cloud as the Huskies will look for the sweep. Game time is scheduled for 7:07 CT. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
