Beaver Hockey 2011-12 game Notes

Bemidji State Hockey

tHe matcH upThe Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team returns to Sanford Center to open the 2011-12 home sea-son this weekend versus Michigan Technological University. The teams open the WCHA series Friday with a 7:37 p.m. opening face off and will complete the two-game set with a 7:07 p.m. start for Saturday’s finale. The Beavers, 1-3-0 overall and 0-2-0 in league play are coming off a pair disappointing losses at nationally-ranked Colorado College. The Beavers dropped game one of the series 3-1 to the then-No. 4 Tigers and fell 6-4 Saturday despite career performances from Shea Walters and Radoslav Illo. Each piled up a goal and two assists as a part of a BSU power-play unit that scored three goals on the man advantage. BSU is led offensively by Walters (2-2=4) and Brance Orban (0-4=4). Walters, a constant among the Bea-vers assists leaders over the course of the last three years, has already surpassed his goal scoring total of a year ago (1) with two lamplighters in four games as a senior. Orban, who has 4-8=12 points in just over two seasons at BSU, has averaged a helper per game through the first four games of his junior campaign. Goaltender Dan Bakala anchors a BSU defense that has allowed 3.75 goals per game from between the pipes. The Huskies (4-0-0) come into the WCHA weekend atop the league standings at 2-0-0 after two overtime victories at then-No. 18 University of Wisconsin. Michigan Tech pulled out a 2-1 victory in the opener and fol-lowed up with a 3-2 extra-time victory in the second game of the series. Senior forward Jordan Baker leads MTU with 2-3=5 points this season, which includes a pair of game-winning goals. Jacob Johnstone has team-best three goals, while Josh Robinson is 3-0-0 in three starts in net. The senior goaltender has posted a .950 save percentage and a 1.31 goals-against average. tHe rivalryIt seems ironic for teams toting histories dating back to 1919 and 1947, respectively, and have logged a total of 4,033 games between them to have met just six times prior to this weekend series, but the first head-to-head match up between the Huskies and Beavers didn’t take place until Jan. 12, 2007. BSU enters the weekend with a slight 3-2-1 edge in the series and is unbeaten the last four times the teams have met (3-0-1). A year ago, BSU traveled to Houghton for a pair of games during MTU’s Winter Carnival Feb. 11-12. The Beavers and Huskies skated to a 2-2 draw in the series opener before BSU took the finale, 1-0, on a Jordan George goal with just 93 seconds left in regulation.

tHe uNparalleled traditioNThe 2011-12 season represents the 13th at the NCAA Division I level, and the 56th year of intercollegiate com-petition, for a BSU program which has assembled one of the finest traditions in all of American collegiate sport.u BSU owns 13 NAIA, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III national titles.u The Beavers have captured 21 conference titles in 55 seasons of intercollegiate competition.u In 2009, BSU became the first No. 16 seed to ever earn a spot in the Frozen Four. In just its 10th year at the NCAA Division I level, only one team, the 1958 Denver Pioneers, found its way to college hockey’s grandest stage faster. u BSU has developed seven NHL players, six Olympians and 82 All-America honorees.u BSU has compiled an all-time record of 982-489-91 (.658) in 1,564 games.

staNdiNgs & raNkiNgsu Bemidji State’s tomserratore (Bemidji State ‘86) is in his 11th season and has an overall record of 179-149-38 (.541) as BSU’s head coach. In addition to directing the Beavers to seasons of at least .500 hockey in seven of the last eight seasons, Serratore’s teams won CHA regular-season championships five times since 2003-04 and made trips to the NCAA Tournament in 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010, with a 2009 appearance in the Frozen Four. He is a five-time CHA Coach of the Year recipient and was Spencer Penrose National Coach of the Year Runner-up in 2009.u In his first season at the helm of the Michigan Tech hockey program Melpearson is no stranger to the collegiate hockey ranks or to MTU fans. The 1981 graduate of MTU, spent six years as an assistant coach (1982-88) there following his playing career before moving down state as an assistant on Red Berenson’s staff at the Uni-versity of Michigan. During his 23 years at Michigan (1988-2011), the Terry Flanagan Award winner, which honors an assistant coach’s career, served at the Wolverines’ top recruiter and he helped guide the team to a 667-243-71 record, 11 Frozen Fours and two national championships.

last for tHe BeaversBemidji State opened its second season as members of the WCHA Oct. 14-15 at then-No. 8 Colorado College. The Beavers dropped game one 3-1 and despite holing a 4-3 lead heading into the third period of the series finale, saw the Tigers net three third period goal to steal the victory 6-4.

Beavers picked to fiNisH teNtHWestern Collegiate Hockey Association coaches picked Bemidji State to finish 10th in the 41th Annual Grand Forks Herald Preseason Coaches’ Poll. A tenth-place finish is just where the Beavers end the 2010-11 season with a 8-15-5 mark in league play. The Beavers garnered 30 points in the poll to six points behind University of Alaska-Anchorage. Denver University was forecast as the favorite to win the 2011-12 regular-season and the MacNaughton Cup. The Pioneers garnered seven of 12 first-place votes and 115 points to edge University of North Dakota (110).

oH captaiN, my captaiNJunior forward BenKinne (St. Paul, Minn.) will captain the Beavers during the 2011-12 cam-paign. Senior defenseman BradHunt (Ridge Meadows, British Columbia) and junior blueliner Jakeareshenko (Port Coquitlam, British Columbia) will have the “A” on their jerseys designating them as alternate captains.

playiNg close to HomeSeven of the 28 players on the Beavers’ 2011-12 roster hail form the state of Minneso-ta. DrewFisher calls International Falls his hometown, sheaWalters is from Hibbing, samRendle is from Grand Rapids and BenKinne, from St. Paul, DannyMattson, from Minneapolis, MattHartmann, who calls Hugo home, and samWindle, from Maple Grove, are from the Twin Cities-metro area.

familiar looktomserratore returns 20 letter winners from a year ago including JordanGeorge and BradHunt. George posted a career-high 17-19=36 points in 2010-11 to lead the team, while Hunt registered 3-18=21 to finish fourth on the team. BSU returns 59 percent of scoring for a year ago, which includes 62 percent of its assist scoring (90-of-145), 49 percent of its goal scoring (43-of-89).

road WarriorsThe Beavers have to adapt to playing on the road quickly in 2011-12 as eight of their first 10 games of the season take place away from home. BSU was 7-9-2 on the road a year ago, including a 7-4-3 stretch on the road after Jan. 7, 2011. The Beavers are already 1-3-0 on the road this season.

tHree is tHe magic NumBerIn 2010-11, the three-goal mark was a threshold for Bemidji State. The Beavers were 0-15-2 when allowing more than two goals and were 13-3-2 when scoring at least three. BSU won just one game when scoring fewer than three times--a Feb. 12 1-0 victory at Michigan Tech and garnered two points when allowing more than two goals--a 5-5 tie with Colorado College Feb. 18 and a 3-3 deadlock with Minnesota March 4. In 2011-12 BSU is 1-1-0 when scoring in excess of three goals, and is 0-2-0 when scoring fewer than three.

Home for tHe HuskiesIn BSU’s two previous meetings with MTU in Bemidji, the Beavers are a perfect 2-0-0 and out scored the Huskies 5-1 in those games--a 3-0 win and a 2-1 victory Nov. 28-29, 2008.

scoriNg struggles vs. BsuIn the Huskies’ last four head-to-head meetings with Bemidji State, the Beavers have al-lowed only three goals and have posted a pair of shutouts.

Quick to strikeScoring first in 20 of 38 contests of 2010-11 the Beavers lit the lamp during the first minute of play three times a year ago. Even more, the Beavers found the back of the net on their first shot on goal in six games last season. BSU was 10-8-2 when scoring first. BSU is 0-1-0 when scoring first in 2011-12.

media iNformatioNBsu 18tH iN all-time WiNsBemidji State became the 18th program among the 58 current members of NCAA Divi-sion I to post its 900th all-time victory when it defeated Ala.-Huntsville, 3-2, on Dec. 15, 2006. BSU’s 980 victories currently rank 18th all-time among current members of Division I. Cornell is next ahead of BSU, in 17th all-time with 1,003 victories. Seventeen Division I programs have posted 1,000 wins, including 2011-12 BSU foe Minnesota which leads Divi-sion I with 1,635 all-time victories, and is the only program in the nation with 1,600 or more all-time wins, while Michigan is second with 1,537 victories.

175 iN tHe BooksIn his 11th season as a collegiate head coach, BSU’s bench boss tom serratore recently achieved another milestone--his 175th victory as a head coach. He is 179-147-38 (.546) since inheriting the Beaver hockey program from leg-endary R.H. “Bob” Peters prior to the 2001-02 season. Serratore is second at the school in victories by a head coach behind Peters, who posted 702 wins at BSU from 1966-2001.

climBiNg Bsu’s divisioN i assists li stBradHunt has accumulated 70 assists dur-ing his first 116 games, or three complete seasons as a Beaver to settle into second on the BSU Division I assists list and seventh on BSU’s all-time assist-scoring by defensemen list. His three assists versus Miami Oct. 7-8 helped him to climb past BSU greats An-drew Murray (2001-2005) and Luke Erickson (2003-07) on BSU’s Division I-era assists list to second behind Matt Read (2007-11) (78).

Bsu versus tHe NatioNally-raNkedIn 2010-11 the Beavers played 17 games against teams holding down one of the na-tion’s top 15 rankings, which included three of the top four teams according to USA-Today and USA Hockey Magazine. BSU was 7-8-2 versus the nation’s top 15 last season. After going 0-5-1 versus nationally-ranked competition during the first two months of 2010-11, the Beavers are 8-4-1 versus the top 15 since Dec. 3. BSU is 1-3-0 versus the nationally-ranked in 2011-12 Since the Beavers made the jump to the NCAA Division I ranks for the 1999-2000 campaign, BSU is 15-48-4 (.262) versus teams in the top-15. With that said, BSU is now 13-13-2 (.500) versus the top 15 since the beginning of the 2008-09 campaign.

offeNsive defeNsemaNJunior defenseman BradHunt has been a big factor for BSU on both ends of the ice since becoming a Beaver in 2008-09. In addition to his duties in BSU’s defensive zone, he has been a true offensive threat--especially on the power play. As a freshman, he was third on the team scoring 9-23=32 points with a team-leading 7-16=23 coming on the man advantage. As a sophomore he had seven goals and a team-leading 26 assists to pace all BSU defenders, while ranking sixth among the nation’s top bluelin-ers (0.89 ppg). His 17 points (5-12=17) on the power play again paced the team. Last season, he had two goals and 18 helpers.

In the 11 years since the Beavers moved to Division I, they have escaped overtime with at least a tie in 75 percent (64) of the 85 games that have needed extra time to decide the outcome. Since March 11, 2006, BSU is 11-6-17 in games extended to sudden death, including a 3-4-5 record in extra time in 2010-11.

it’s a fiNe liNe...Last season, 19 of BSU’s 38 games were decided by one goal or less, which included seven one-goal losses by the Beavers. Bemidji State was 7-7-5 in games decided by a goal or less. BSU is 0-1-0 in one-goal games this season.

i am iroN maNBrad Hunt is BSU’s current Ironman. Since stepping on campus in the fall of 2008, he has dressed and played in each of the Beavers’ 116 games consecutively. Matt Read set a new mark for game played during BSU’s Division I era a year ago, playing in 147 games for BSU, which included 143 consecutively.

illo BreakiNg outSophomore Radoslav Illo, had a career night Oct. 15. He scored a power-play goal and added a pair of assists for a career-high three points. Illo had just 4-2=6 points during his entire freshman campaign.

HuNtiNg for 100Alternate Captain Brad Hunt is quickly approaching the 100-point plateau. During his three seasons in the green and white, he has accumulated 19-70--89 points and has already climbed to 10th on BSU’s all-time defensemen scoring list. With one point this weekend, he will match Greg Ambrose (1995-99) for ninth with 90 career points. In the history of the BSU hockey program, only five blueliners have topped the 100-point mark with the last being Jude Boulianne Jr. in 1994-95.

Back iN tHe saddleBSU captain Ben Kinne is back in action this season after missing the entire 2010-11 season after suffering a stroke in the offseason. He has been practicing, is in good health and has been cleared to play. In his first two seasons at BSU he piled up 18-21=39 points and played a significant role on BSU’s power-play and penalty-kill units.

players may come...Bemidji State welcomes a group of nine new players into the fold - eight freshmen and one transfer with six playing forward, two looking for a home on the blue line along with a goalie. Freshmen forwards Sean Rudy, Cody Strang, Danny Mattson, Tyler Tosunian and Mitch Cain are looking to earn their way into the BSU lineup, while the sixth forward in the mix is sophomore transfer David Boehm. He is in his second sea-son with the Beavers after sitting out and practicing with the team in 2010-11 after transferring from UMass. Sam Windle and Matt Prapavessis are the team’s new defensemen. While they possess very different games, both bring great length to the Beavers’ line up as both stand over 6-1, which Windle measuring in at 6-4. Prapavessis is an of-fensive defender and will see time on the Beavers’ power-play, while Windle is a hard-nosed defender. The final addition is Andrew Walsh. The goaltender comes into the 2011-12 campaign from Dawson Creek, British Columbia, where he also played junior hockey in the NAHL.

...aNd players may goThe conclusion of the 2010-11 campaign, meant the end of the collegiate careers of BSU’s six seniors. The 2011 seniors make up a class that has been a part of three Col-lege Hockey America regular-season championships, a CHA Tournament title, BSU’s first at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament a trip to the 2009 Frozen four and the tran-sition into a new building-Sanford Center--and the WCHA. BSU’s 2011 senior class includes: Ryan Adams, Emil Billberg, Ryan Cramer, Dan MacIntyre, Matt Read and Ian Lowe. Read, now with the NHL’s Philadelphia Flyers, left his mark on the program more than any of his departing teammates.. Read left BSU as its Division I-era leading scorer (143) and tops the list in goals scoring (65) assist scoring (78) games played (148) and ranks 18th on BSU’s all-time scoring list.

Bakala iN tHe creaseBSU goaltender Dan Bakala enters his senior season atop the BSU all-time save percentage list.

In addition, his total of six shutouts is tied for fourth all-time at BSU and he is third in goals-against average at 2.43. He finished 2010-11 making an appearance in 31 of the Beavers’ 38 games. He was 14-13-4 with a 2.47 GAA and a .919 save percentage.

oNe is Not eNougHThe Beavers’ one-goal effort Oct. 14 was the team’s lowest scoring output of the young season. BSU’s odds of winning with just one goal are pretty slim. Since the beginning of the 1999-00 season, BSU has won only two times when scoring one goal, posting a 2-55-7 record in those games.

As Bemidji State has made inroads in its devel-opment as a Division I program, its progress in the classroom has been remarkable. In its 11th year under head coach Tom Serra-tore, the BSU program has become an academic juggernaut, annually dominating the academic honor roll while members of College Hockey America and have now carried that tradition on to the Western Collegiate Hockey Association. In addition, BSU has had 14 College Sports Information Directors of America Academic All-District V selections over the last eight years and has passed the NCAA’s first five Academic Prog-ress Rate performance checks with flying colors. Overall, the BSU men’s ice hockey team car-ries a cumulative GPA of over 3.5.

nCaaacademicprogressRateBemidji State men’s hockey received a score of 970 in the May 2009 release of the NCAA’s Aca-demic Progress Rate (APR) score. BSU helped the sport of men’s ice hockey achieve an aggre-gate score of 970, the third-highest of any men’s sport in the Division. The NCAA has established an APR cut rate of 925, which equates to a graduation rate of ap-proximately 50 percent, for all NCAA Division I sports. Programs which fail to meet the cut rate when 2006-07 numbers are added to the 2005-06 and 2004-03 data risk reductions in scholar-ships.

C onventional sports wisdom has long contended it is never wise to follow a legend. However, sporting a remarkable laundry-list of achievements after nearly nine years as head coach at Bemidji State, it appears Tom

Serratore is more than comfortable in the role. The legacy Serratore was asked to continue upon accepting the role as Be-midji State’s seventh head coach in 2001 is one of the finest in all of collegiate athletics. Serratore walks by the trophy case on his way to practice each day, in full view of the 13 small-college national championship trophies enshrined therein, trophies won by future hockey Hall of Fame member R.H. “Bob” Peters. Serratore not only had the challenge of inheriting one of the true dynasties in the history of collegiate athletics, he also was called to oversee its growth into a Division I program. While Serratore will be the first to admit he’ll not be able to replicate Peters’ achievements, there can be little doubt the program is in the right hands. BSU finished 4-26-4 in 2000-01, the year before Serratore took control of the program. He led BSU to a 12-18-5 record during his rookie campaign and increased BSU’s win total each of the four years that followed. BSU finished 23-13-1 in 2004-05, giving the Beavers a school-record for wins in a Division I season and back-to-back 20-win campaigns for the first time as a Division I program. In 2008-09 Serratore led the Beavers through the regular season to post their fourth CHA championship in six years before their third CHA Tourna-ment championship, the program’s first NCAA Division I Tournament victory and a chance represent the university and the CHA in the Frozen Four for the first time. The 2009-10 campaign served as the Beaver’s last as a member of College Hockey America and Serratore’s BSU squad went out with a bang. The team posted a 23-10-4 overall record with a 14-3-1 mark in CHA play en route to the team’s third consecutive league regular-season championship and fifth in nine seasons as members of the league. Bemidji State capped the season by earning its first at-large bid and its fourth appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Under Serratore’s guidance, 28 BSU skaters earned All-CHA honors, including two-time First-Team All-CHA picks Marty Goulet (2002-03), Bryce Methven (2003-04), Matt Climie (2006-07), Travis Winter (2006-07, Cody Bostock (2007-08), Brad Hunt (2009-2010) and Matt Read (2009-2010) with four Beavers earning CHA Rookie of the Year laurels. BSU had multiple skaters named First-Team All-CHA seven of its final eight seasons in the league, including a school-record three first-teamers in 2003. Academic excellence has been a staple of the BSU program under Serratore and that trend has continued in the WCHA. The Beavers had a 21 skaters named to the 2010-11 WCHA All-Academic Team with 11 players earning WCHA Scholar Athlete laurels--both numbers were far and away the highest among league member institutions. Under Serratore’s guidance have a league-high 153 student-athletes have been named to confer-ence all-academic teams over the last 10 years. In addition, BSU has had nine CoSIDA Academic All-District V selections during his reign, including 2005 First-Team Academic All-America selection Peter Jonsson. Serratore’s achievements have not gone unnoticed. He is a five-time CHA Coach of the Year, winning the honor in 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009 and 2010 in 10 years as a collegiate head coach he has been named a finalist for the Spencer Penrose Award, given annually to the American Hockey Coaches Association’s National Coach of the Year, five times, including a runner-up finish in 2009. Serratore took the reigns as the seventh head coach at Bemidji State in 2001 after having spent the previ-ous three seasons as the associate head coach for Peters. Prior to coming to BSU, Serratore spent five years as recruiting coordinator for the WCHA’s St. Cloud State Huskies, where he recruited several NHL draft picks.

OXFORD, Ohio (Steve Cady Arena) -- Junior forward aaron Mcleod scored twice and the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team got two goals in the final 6:10 of play to defeat No. 1 Miami University 5-3 at Steve Cady Arena in Oxford, Ohio. After a shaky first period, BSU seemed to get better as the game rolled on. The tentative Beavers got whistled for a penalty early and the RedHawks capitalized, taking a 1-0 lead on a goal just 2:10 into the game. The power-play marker came off the backhand of Curtis McKenzie. BSU regrouped after allowing the early goal and despite trailing 1-0, held a 7-4 edge in shots on goal. Bemidji State shook the butterflies before the second period and knot-ted the score just 1:44 in. McLeod finished an end-to-end rush putting the puck over the shoulder of Cody Reichard for BSU’s first goal of the 2011-12 season. Sophomore JeffJubinville earned and assist on the play after carrying the puck into the neutral zone, fighting through a hook and put the puck on the stick of McLeod between the circles. The momentum would quickly switch ends as it took the top-ranked RedHawks just 1:32 to regain the lead (3:16). Chris Wideman funneled the puck to the net and Blake Coleman deflected it past BSU goaltenderDanBakala and into the back of the cage. Entering the final frame trailing by a goal, the Beavers netted four goals to solidify the win. Just over five minutes in (5:08), Jakeareshenko potted his second col-legiate goal unleashing a shot form the point that glanced of the left post and off the skate of MU goaltender Reichard before sliding beyond the goal line. McLeod picked up his second point of the night as he and senior defender BradHuntearned assisted on the scoring play. McLeod would give the Beavers their first lead of the game, 3-2, when he netted and unassisted goal at the 8:30 mark of the period, but BSU would not make it easy on itself. DrewFisher was whistled for a penalty with 6:10 left in the game. It took 1:40, but MU connected on its second power-play of the night when Alex Wideman tucked a rebound past Bakala. Bemidji State would gain momentum and the lead less than three min-utes later (18:05). DarcyFindlay intercepted a pass out of the corner and buried a backhand to put the Beavers up 4-3. BSU was called for its sixth penalty of the game immediately following the goal setting the RedHawks up on the man advantage for the final 1:50 of regulation.

OXFORD,Ohio (Steve Cady Arena) -- The Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team went toe-to-toe with the nation’s top-ranked team, Miami Uni-versity, for 55 minutes Saturday, but a short-handed goal by Matt Tomassoni in the game’s final minutes proved too much as the RedHawks earned a 3-2 victory to split in the season-opening, nonconference series in Oxford, Ohio. Bemidji State alternate captainBradHunt collected a pair of assists, his second and third of 2011-12, in the game to lead the Beavers and BSU con-verted its first power-play goal in six chances this season, but it was special teams situations that ultimately cost BSU the game. The Beavers put the RedHawks on a 5-on-3 power-play opportunity late in the second frame to allow MU to tied the score 2-2 and a power-play miscue led to the short-handed, go-ahead goal with just under five minutes to go in the third. For the second consecutive night, Miami was the first to light the score-board. Tomassoni took a pass from Austin Czarnik and beat BSU goaltender DanBakalaat the 8:06 mark of the first period to put MU up 1-0. Trailing 1-0 to open the second period, sheaWalters collected a loose puck on the doorstep and buried his first goal of the season. Hunt got the play started with a shot form the blueline. Orban picked up the shot off the boards and left it in front for Walters and the Beavers converted their first power-play chance of the season. Just over six minutes later (10:20) the Beavers took the lead, 2-1, whenJordanGeorge put a rebound past the Miami goaltender Connor Knapp for his first tally of 2011. Captain BenKinneand Hunt were credited with assists on the play. Following the goal BSU’s RadoslavIllo and Jakeareshenkowere called for slashing penalties separated by just 14 seconds to gave the RedHawks a 1:46 5-on-3 opportunity. Miami took full advantage of the chance scoring the equalizing goal just 63 seconds later on a Chris Wideman slapshot from the blueline. With 5:26 to play and the score knotted at 2-2, the Beavers got the break it needed when Steven Spinell was whistled for slashing. The penalty supplied the Beavers with their fourth power-play opportunity of the evening. But it was the RedHawks that would use the opportunity to snatched the lead. When Mattprapavessis fell trying to keep the puck in the zone, MU’s Trent Vogel-huber picked up the puck and led the short-handed rush with a shot. Bakala made the initial save, but Tomassoni was there to put the rebound past the BSU goaltender and give the nation’s top-ranked team the lead for good. As time wound down, the Beavers pulled Bakala for an extra attacker, but were unable to score to force overtime. Bakala finished with 23 saves in 58:57 of action. He allowed three goals as his record evens at 1-1-0 on the season. Each teamed completed the night 1-for-4 on the man advantage, with MU’s short-handed marker standing as the decisive goal.

COlORaDOspRInGs,Colo. (World Arena) -- Bemidji State University new-comer MitchCain netted a goal in his first collegiate game, but that was all the offense the Beavers could muster as No. 8 Colorado College capitalized on a pair of turnovers to spoil BSU’s Western Collegiate Hockey Association opener, 3-1, Friday at World Arena in Colorado Springs, Colo. After playing 20 minutes without a goal, the teams combined for three goals in the second, CC took a 2-1 advantage into the third period and would not look back adding a third goal early in the third period to put the game out of reach. The Tigers seemed to multiply the effect of the extra space on its 200-by-100-foot Olympic ice sheet scoring a pair of 4-on-4 goals in the game. The Beavers and Tigers used a large portion of the first period to feel each other out. The teams finished the period with eight shots on goal apiece and the score locked at 0-0. Colorado College came out of the first intermission as the clear aggres-sors putting four of the first five shots on net. The teams began the period play-ing 4-on-4 and it took CC just 25 seconds to take the first lead of the game. Gabe Guentzel capitalized on a BSU turnover netting a goal on a slapshot from the blueline. The Beavers climbed back into the game, knotting the score at 1-1 at the 6:41 mark. BSU newcomer Cain was rewarded for persistence after crashing the net and slipping a rebound past CC goaltender Joe Howe. In his collegiate debut, the goal stands as the first of Cain’s BSU career. Jakeareshenko fun-neled the puck toward the net and BranceOrban, who centered the puck to the slot, were credited with assists on the scoring play. CC regained the lead, 2-1, eight minutes later (14:40) on its second 4-on-4 goal of the game. Jaden Schwartz scored his first goal of the season after holding the puck long enough to force BSU goaltender DanBakala to commit and buried a shot in the virtually open net. The Tigers’ lead swelled to 3-1 at the 5:45 mark of the third period. De-fender Michael Boivin beat Bakala with a backhand from the left circle. With 2:00 minutes left in regulation, BSU Head Coach tomserratorepulled BSU’s goaltender in favor of an extra attacker and just moments into play, the tactic resulted in a BradHunt slap shot ringing off the left post, but that was as close as the Beavers would come. Although the team held the puck in the zone for all but the final 10 seconds, it was unable to get the puck through traffic to find the back of the net. Bakala was tested often tonight. He made 25 saves and helped the BSU penalty-kill unit hold a high-octane offensive CC team scoreless on four power-play opportunities. He falls to 1-2-0 on the season. Howe earned the win turning away 25 of 26 BSU shots. In addition to Cain, tonight’s game was one to remember for DannyMatt-son also made his debut in the green and white. The BSU-CC series is now at 4-2-1 all-time, while CC owns a 4-1-0 ad-vantage versus the Beavers in Colorado Springs, Colo.

COlORaDOspRInGs,Colo. (World Arena) -- Holding the lead on four dif-ferent occasions, which included a 4-3 edge to open the third period, the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team saw No. 8 Colorado College score three unanswered goals during the final 20 minutes as the Tigers out-lasted the Beavers to gain a 6-4 victory and a series sweep. sheaWalters andRadoslavIlloeach posted career nights for the Bea-vers recording a goal to go with two assists, while BranceOrban added a pair of assists, but BSU was unable to match the firepower on the CC line up. On the strength of a hat trick from Ryan Schwartz and three points (1-2=3) from brother Jaden and Scott Winkler, the Tigers’ potent offense was too much for the Beavers down the stretch. Bemidji State drew first blood for the first time all season when Walters put a rebound back from the left post on the power play. Illo, who took the initial shot, and Orban were credited with assists on the play. A delayed-penalty situation allowed CC even the score at the 11:34 mark of the first period. Jeff Collett wrapped around the goal and stuffed the puck past BSU goaltender MathieuDugas, who was in the net for his first start of the season. The Beavers regained the lead at the 16:08 mark on a tremendous effort by newcomer MitchCain. The rookie picked up the puck on BSU’s own blue line and skated into the offensive zone before getting a backhand off the pads of the CC goalie. Linemate DrewFisher followed on the play and pocketed the rebound to give the Beavers a 2-1 lead. Despite trailing 13-9 in shots on goal, the Beavers took a 2-1 lead into the locker room after 20 minutes of play. The lead would last only 37 seconds. CC won the second period’s open-ing face off and when Winkler deflected a shot off R. Schwartz’s skate in front and past Dugas. BSU used its third power-play opportunity to regain the lead. BenKinneburied a one-timer from the top of the left circle with just 12 seconds left on the man advantage. The goal was the first of the season for Kinne and the first since he scored Mar. 13, 2010. The junior sat out the entire 2010-11 season after suffering a stroke. After R. Schwartz knotted the score at 3-3 15:54 into the second, BSU capitalized on its fourth power-play chance. Illo netted his first goal of the season and his third point of the night when a blistering slap shot from the point found its way through traffic at the 18:19 mark. Orban and Walters were credited with assists on the scoring play giving each his second assist of the evening. After 40 minutes and four goals allowed, Colorado College head coach Scott Owens elected to pull goaltender Josh Thorimbert for Joe Howe to begin the third period. The change served as a spark for the Tigers. Howe posted a perfect 11-save period and gained the win in net as the CC attack potted a trio of goals. Dugas was tagged with the loss after allowing five goals, but posted 33 saves in 59:50 between the pipes in his first appearance since a Jan. 22, 2011 start versus St. Cloud State University. Following the loss, BSU trails CC in the all-time series 2-5-1, while CC owns a 5-1-0 advantage versus the Beavers in Colorado Springs, Colo.
