Sparks Pointers to Rout
Box Score
A late first period flurry sparked the UW-Stevens
Point men�s hockey team in snapping its five-game winless streak in a big way
with an 8-2 rout of Concordia-Moorhead on Saturday at the Mosinee Recreation
Center.
The Pointers broke a 1-1 tie by scoring three times in
the final three minutes of the opening period and went on to bury the Cobbers
and improve to 5-8-2 overall, while Concordia-Moorhead fell to 6-6 overall.
Brett Beckfeld was involved in the Pointers� first
three goals, scoring at the 2:12 mark and then assisting Pat Lee for a score at
the 17:19 mark before scoring again 45 seconds later. Mosinee product Nick Zebro
added a goal in his hometown rink with three seconds left to finish the first
period as the Pointers broke a string of five straight scoreless opening
periods.
Concordia-Moorhead held an 11-8 advantage in shots in
the second period, but UW-Stevens Point scored the only two goals with Sean Fish
scoring at the 1:33 mark of the period and Lee netting a power play goal at the
15:12 mark. The Cobbers failed to score on six power plays in the period,
including two five-on-threes that each lasted over a minute.
Concordia-Moorhead was one-for-11 on the power play in
the game and UW-Stevens Point was three-for-11 in a game that featured 34
penalties for a combined 98 minutes.
Josh Calleja, who had two assists in the game, added a
goal at the 4:08 mark of the third period to put the Pointers ahead 7-1. Tony
Janssen scored both the Cobbers� goals, including a goal at the 13:57 mark of
the final period, before Dan Francis finished the scoring for the Pointers with
24 seconds left in the game.
UW-Stevens Point had 14 of its 18 skaters record a
point in the game as Fish and Francis each had a goal and an assist, while Nick
Bydal and Adam Setten had two assists apiece.
Marcus Paulson had 31 saves for the Pointers, who held
a 39-33 advantage in shots. |
