St. Cloud State Men's Hockey Earns Weekend Sweep with 4-0 Victory
10/20/2012 11:26:00 PM | Men's Hockey
St. Cloud, Minn. - The St. Cloud State University men's hockey team (2-2-0, 0-0-0 WCHA) earned its first series sweep of the 2012-13 season with an impressive 4-0 victory over Alabama Huntsville (0-3-1) at the National Hockey and Event Center on Oct. 20, in St. Cloud, Minn.
This marked the first time since time since Mar. 9-10, 2012 (4-0, 3-1 vs. UNO in the WCHA playoffs) that the Huskies earned two consecutive wins at the NHEC and also marked the first regular season sweep at home since a 4-2, 7-3 sweep of Wisconsin on Feb. 25-26, 2011.
The Huskies will bring their two-game win streak into the WCHA opener next weekend against Minnesota State at the NHEC. Game time on Oct. 26 is slated for 7:37 p.m. and the puck will drop on Oct. 27 at 7:07 p.m. For complete ticket information for these two important league contests, please visit www.scsutickets.com or call 1-877-SCSUTIX.
Huskies Dominant Chargers
The Huskies controlled play throughout the 4-0 win over Alabama Huntsville, which moved the all-time series mark against the Chargers to 9-0-0 in favor of SCSU. The evening opened when junior forward Nic Dowd, a resident of Huntsville, Ala., converted a steal along the boards into an unassisted goal at 3:54 of the first period. The goal was Dowd's second of the weekend and proved to be the game winner for the Huskies.
In the second period, sophomore defender Andrew Prochno (Minnetonka) pushed the lead to 2-0 with his second goal of the season at 3:42. Senior forward Ben Hanowski (Little Falls) set the stage with a slick pass to the open Prochno. The second assist on the play was provided by senior forward Drew LeBlanc (Hermantown).
To complete the second period attack, LeBlanc chalked up his first goal of the young season at 14:04. Hanowski added the first assist on the play, while Prochno had the second assist. LeBlanc now has 102 career points, while this was Hanowski's 85th career point in the red and black.
To cap the evening's scoring, rookie forward Kalle Kossila (Finland) charted his first collegiate goal at 12:28 of the third period. Freshman forward David Morley (Richmond Hills, Ont.) and freshman forward Jonny Brodzinski (Blaine) both collected assists on the play for the Huskies. Kossila now has 1g/2a on the new season, while Morley has four assists this winter and Brodzinski has 1g/2a in 2012-13.
In the nets, sophomore goalie Ryan Faragher (Fort Frances, Ont.) tallied his second career shutout in the game with 18 saves to his credit. This marked the Huskies' first shutout since Mike Lee blanked Nebraska Omaha by a 4-0 mark on Mar. 9, 2012 at the NHEC. This was Faragher's first shutout since he aced North Dakota by a 4-0 margin on Oct. 28, 2011.
The Huskies dominated play on both ends as they outshot the Chargers 42-18 in the game. Of note, this was also the most shots in a game for the Huskies since they put up 43 shots against Michigan Tech at the NHEC on Jan. 7, 2011 in a 3-0 victory. Brodzinski, junior defender Kevin Gravel (Kingsford, Mich.) and sophomore defender Tim Daly (Maple Ridge, B.C.) all led the Huskies with five shots apiece in the game.
On the power play, SCSU went 0-of-5 and UAH was 0-of-4 in the game.
