B BEAVER HOCKEY 2011-12 GAME NOTES BEMIDJI STATE HOCKEY THE MATCH UP The Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team jumps into postseason play this weekend as the No. 9 seed Beavers travel to fourth-seeded University of North Dakota for a best-of-three Western Collegiate Hockey Associa- tion playoff opening-round match up. The Beavers, 17-16-3 overall and 11-14-3 in WCHA play, finished the 2011-12 regular season with a series sweep at University of Alaska-Anchorage. The Beavers used a two-goal night from Jordan George to take the opener and snap a season-long four-game losing skid 2-1 before battling back from a 3-1 deficit complete the sweep with a 5-4 victory. Offensively, Jordan George leads the team with 30 points (18g-12a) and has been the team’s top goal scorer potting a career-high 18. However, over the course of the Beavers’ last 10 games, no player has contributed more than senior Shea Walters. The Hibbing, Minn. native has scored in seven of 10 games, which includes a new career-best two goals in the series finale last weekend. He has four goals and six assists since Feb. 3. Dan Bakala has started 15 of the Beavers’ last 20 games in net, including the last 10 straight. The senior owns a 11-11-2 record with a 2.56 goals against average and ranks fourth in the WCHA with a .915 save percentage in league play this season. North Dakota carries an overall record of 20-12-3, is 16-11-1 in WCHA play and is unbeaten in nine of its last 11 games (8-2-1). UND is coming out of a 4-2, 3-0 sweep of Minnesota State University at ‘The Ralph.’ Junior forward Danny Kristo leads the team with 40 points (17g-23a), while sophomore Brock Nelson has a team-best 23 goals scored, including a league-best 20 in WCHA play. Also a vital cog on the power-play, Nelson has netted nine of UND’s 34 goals on the man advantage this season. Brad Eidsness has been UND’s go-to goalie as of late. He’s played in seven of the last nine games (4-1-1). He is 7-2-1 on the season and currently sits second in the league with a 2.19 goals against average and .919 save percentage. Aaron Dell is 13-9-2 with a 2.87 GAA and .893 save percentage in 27 appearances. THE RIVALRY This weekend’s series between the Beavers and North Dakota marks the first time the teams have met in postseason play and is a continuation of a rivalry that extends back to the 1969-70 season. Since the first meeting between the teams Feb. 6, 1970, UND has built a 22-2-1 advantage, including a 13-1-1 mark when hosting BSU. The Beavers enter the playoff series after a split with UND Nov. 19-20--its first victory over North Dakota since Jan. 7, 1970 (7-5). THE UNPARALLELED TRADITION The 2011-12 season represents the 13th at the NCAA Division I level, and the 56th year of intercollegiate competition, 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 Divi - sion 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 998-502-94 (.657) in 1,594 games.

tHe matcH upThe Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team jumps into postseason play this weekend as the No. 9 seed Beavers travel to fourth-seeded University of North Dakota for a best-of-three Western Collegiate Hockey Associa-tion playoff opening-round match up.

tHe coacHesuBemidji State’s tom serratore (Bemidji State ‘86) is in his 11th season and has an overall record of 193-162-41 (.545) 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.uIn his eighth season as head coach at North Dakota, Dave Hakstol has led the UND toan overall record of 207-104-30 (.651) and seven consecutive trips to the NCAA Tour-nament, which includes four Frozen Four appearances. Hakstol, a player for UND from 1989-92, was an assistant at North Dakota for four years prior to taking the reigns of the program. In 12 years since arriving at UND, Hakstol has helped the Sioux to 10 NCAA Tournament berths and four WCHA titles.

last time out For tHe BeaversThe Beavers traveled to Alaska Anchorage last weekend to cap the 2011-12 regu-lar season with their first games ever in Alaska. Jordan George scored twice in the opening 13:57 of play Friday giving BSU all the offense it would need as the Beavers’ team defense clamped down on UAA allowing only 15 shots on net in a 2-1 victory. Saturday, BSU found itself down 3-1 just 37 seconds into the second period, but used two-goals from Shea Walters and Brance Orban to gain the 5-4 win. Orban led all BSU players offensively with four points (2g-2a), while freshman Matt prapavessis logged a goal and an assist from the blueline and posted a team-high eight blocked shots in the series.

last time versus NortH dakotaThe Beavers last met UND Nov. 19-20 at Sanford Center. BSU scored first in the series opener and found itself tied with UND (2-2) 1:12 into the third period, but a Mario Lamou-reux power-play goal at the 15:22 mark tilted the game in favor of UND and the team would add two goals to finish 5-2. BSU then rode a Dan Bakala 26-save performance to a 1-0 victory in the finale. Jordan George supplied the BSU offense netting a power-play goal at the 9:08 mark.

Beavers picked to FiNisH teNtHWestern Collegiate Hockey Association coaches picked Bemidji State to finish 10th in the 41st Annual Grand Forks Herald Preseason Coaches’ Poll. A tenth-place fin-ish 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 sit 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 Ben Kinne (St. Paul, Minn.) has captained the Beavers during the 2011-12 cam-paign. Senior defenseman Brad Hunt (Ridge Meadows, British Columbia) and junior blueliner Jake Areshenko (Port Coquitlam, British Columbia) 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. Drew Fisher calls International Falls his hometown, Shea Walters is from Hibbing, sam Rendle is from Grand Rapids and Ben Kinne, from St. Paul, Danny Mattson, from Minneapolis, Matt Hartmann, who calls Hugo home, and Sam Windle, from Maple Grove, are from the Twin Cities-metro area.

Familiar looktom serratore returns 20 letter winners from a year ago including Jordan George and Brad Hunt. 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 testedBemidji State is back on the road this weekend to begin 2012 postseason play at Grand Forks, N.D. The road has not been kind to the Beavers this season. In 18 road games, BSU is a meager 6-10-2, which includes a 4-8-2 mark on the road in WCHA play and a sweep at UAA last weekend. Conversely, Bemidji State is 11-6-1 in Bemidji this season, which includes a 7-6-1 in WCHA play. The biggest difference in BSU’s play on the road has come in its defense. In 16 home games, BSU has allowed an average of 2.33 goals per game, while on the road it’s allowed an average of 3.27 goals per contest.

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. That trend has continued into 2011-12. This season, BSU is 13-2-2 when scoring in excess of three goals, and is 4-14-1 when scoring fewer than three. When its opponent scores three or more goals, BSU is 4-12-2 this season.

Quick to strikeBSU is 10-7-2 when scoring first in 2011-12. Even more, the Beavers have found the back of the net on their first shot on goal five times this season, including March 2 at UAA, and have scored on one of its first three shots on goal nine times.

media iNFormatioNtHe searcH For 1,000In 56 years of hockey, the Bemidji State men’s hockey programhas acumulated 998 wins. With an all-time record of 998-502-94 (.657) in 1,594 games, two wins this season would not only puch the Beavers’ ticket to the Red Baron/ WCHA Final Five, it would also make the Beavers the 18th program in college hocley history to log 1,000 wins.

Bsu 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 998 victories currently rank 18th all-time among current members of Division I. Cornell is next ahead of BSU, in 17th all-time with 1,018 victories. Seventeen Division I programs have posted 1,000 wins, including 2011-12 BSU foe Minnesota which leads Divi-sion I with 1,655 all-time victories, and is the only program in the nation with 1,600 or more all-time wins, while Michigan is second with 1,552 victories.

Freaky FridayBSU was a meager 4-10-4 in the first game of the weekend series in 2010-11, while the team experienced much greater success, a 10-7-1 record, in the final game of a series. Strangely, this season BSU has been very consistent whether its the first or second game sitting at nearly .500 head night. The Beavers are 8-7-3 on Friday and 9-9-0 on Saturday.

Friday is a perFect time For otAll four of BSU’s overtime contests this season have come in the first game of a series. The Beavers are unbeaten in overtime this season at 1-0-3.

climBiNg Bsu’s divisioN i assists li stBrad Hunt has accumulated 86 assists during his first 148 games, or just under four com-plete seasons as a Beaver, to surpass BSU great Matt Read (2007-11) to sit atop the BSU Division I assists list and atop BSU’s all-time assist-scoring by defensemen list. Hunt sur-passed Terry Mattson (1986-89), father of cur-rent Beaver freshman Danny Mattson, Feb. 3-4 with two helpers versus Nebraska-Omaha.

oFFeNsive deFeNsemaNJunior defenseman Brad Hunt 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 blueliners (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. Twelve points (2-10=12) came on the man advantage to place him fourth on the team in power-play scoring. This season he enters the 22th week of play third on the team (5-19=24) in scoring and has 10 power-play points (2-8=10).

tHe HuNt For poWer-play goalsIn his fourth season, defenseman Brad Hunt has piled up 16 power-play goals, in-cluding seven in 2008-09, which matched a BSU Division I-era single-season record for power-play goals by a defender. With his second power-play goal of the season Feb. 18, Hunt surpassed Clay Simmons (1999-02) for BSU’s Division I-era mark for power-play goals by a defenseman.

doN’t call it a sHutoutBSU’s Jan. 17 shut out at Minnesota marked just the second time this season the Beavers have been held without a goal, snapping a string of 22 games with a tally dating back to an Oct. 29 1-0 loss at Minnesota Duluth.

maN advaNtageBemidji State finished its final series of the regular season going 2-for-6 (.333) on the man ad-vantage, which included a 2-for-3 (.667) night Saturday. BSU is now 24-for-113 (.212) on the man advantage this season and 20-for-91 (.220) in the WCHA to rank fourth in league play.

it’s a FiNe liNe...The Beavers have been involved in 15 games that have been decided by one goal or less this season. BSU is 7-5-3 in those games.

peNalty killers...The Beavers were not whistled for a single penalty March 2 at UAA, marking the first time

div. i-era recordsdiv. i-era recordsthis season the penalty-kill unit was untested and the first time in the Beavers Division I era (1999-2000). The BSU penalty-kill finished the weekend a perfect 3-for-3 and is now 119-141 (.844) on the season to sit 10th in the country, which includes killing 92-109 (.844) in WCHA play to lead the league.

Beaver scoriNg By classThis season’s juniors currently lead BSU’s scoring race with 53-69=122 points after 16-23=39 points over the course of the last five weeks. Next is the senior class with 23-39=62 points, followed by the sophomores (10-19=29). BSU’s freshman class has seven goals and 20 assists to its credit this season.

Walters-poWered poWer playShea Walters currently leads BSU in power-play in point production netting 13 points (6g-7a), with 12 of those points (5g-7a) coming in league play. The senior logged a power-play tally at Alaska-Anchorage March 3.

poWer-play goose eggsIt’s not all that uncommon for a team to be held without a power-play goal in any individual game, but Friday night BSU didn’t get a single power-play opportunity (0-for-0). Since Bemidji State made the jump to the NCAA Division I level for the 1999-2000 season, that has only happened four times in 459 games and two have come in the Beavers’ last 12 games. BSU was also 0-for-0 Dec. 17 versus Bowling Green.

tHeN tHere Were seveNMatt Read, a 2011 graduate of Bemidji State and the Beavers’ Division I-era scor-ing leader, made the Philadelphia Flyers’ 2011-12 opening-day roster and scored his first NHL goal in the Flyer’s second game of the season. Read’s trip to the NHL makes seven products of the Beaver Hockey program to skate in the NHL ranks. He joins former BSU goaltender Matt Clime (2005-2009) and his teammate andrew Murray (2001-05) as the only other former Bea-vers currently in the NHL.

its sHare oF otExtending their March 17 WCHA Final Five quarterfinal game versus Minnesota Duluth to overtime, the Beavers completed the 2010-11 season playing in 12 overtime games, marking its most since playing in a school-record 15 in 2002-03. In the 11 years since the Beavers moved to Division I, they have escaped overtime with at least a tie in 76 percent (68) of the 89 games that have needed extra time to decide the outcome. Since March 11, 2006, BSU is 12-6-21 in games extended to sudden death, including a 1-0-3 record in extra time in 2011-12.

sHoot tHe puckBSU out shot UAA last weekend 55-37 marking just the second time this season the Beavers have out shot their opponents in a series. With that said, BSU has been out shot in 25 of its 36 games this season. BSU now trails their opponents 1,075-883 (-6.2 spg), which includes a 877-695 (-7.7 spg) differential in 28 WCHA games. BSU is now 8-13-3 when being out shot, 8-3-0 when out shooting its opponent and 1-0-0 when shots are even.

Big sHotsBSU has logged more than 30 shots on goal this season just four times. Ironically, BSU has dropped three of those games with its only win coming Feb. 11 when it registered 30 shots on goal on a 4-1 victory over Colorado College.

directioNs to tHe scoriNg columNWith nine new faces in the BSU line up, the 2011-12 season brings with it many collegiate firsts--games, goals, assists. Freshman Matt prapavessis, who leads all BSU rookies in scoring (1-12=13) was the latest to record a collegiate first. He netted his first goal as a Beaver March 3 at UAA. sean Rudy remains as the only rookie skater on this year’s roster that has yet to log a point, while sophomore Garrett ladd and junior Matt Hartmann (0-0=0) remain the only BSU veterans without a point to their name.

assistaNce From tHe creaseMarch 3 BSU’s defense produced a goal and two assists including a helper from goalten-der Dan Bakala. The assist was the fourth of his career and first to come from between the pipes for the Beavers since Bakala contributed to a goal Jan. 7, 2011. With four in his career, he is just one behind Jim Scanlan (1978-82) who holds BSU’s all-time record.

1-0 WiNs...BSU’s victory versus UND Nov. 20 seventh 1-0 victory in the history of the program. Since making the jump to NCAA Division I for the 1999-2000 campaign, BSU is 3-57-7 when scoring only one goal.

In addition, he has also matched his career-high assist total of 2010-11 (13).

Bakala’s saviNgs plaNWith 2,332 career saves, senior goaltender Dan Bakala has surpassed Matt Clime (2,201) Feb. 17 to take over second place on BSU’s Division I-era saves list. Grady Hunt (2000-04) holds down the top spot with 2,717 stops. He ranks fourth at all-time at BSU.

He’s a WiNNerWith two wins in Alaska, Dan Bakala is inching closer to the Beavers Division I-era mark for wins by a goaltender. With 44 career victories, he needs just one win in the remainder of the season to equal Matt Climie’s (2000-04) mark of 45.

tHey make sHootiNg tougHBSU allowed just 15 shots on goal Friday night marking the first time the Beavers have held an opponent under 16 shots on goal since BSU allowed Wayne State just 11 shots March 15, 2008 and was just the 12th time since the Beavers moved to the NCAA Division I level for the 1999-2000 campaign.

poWer-play sHortageOf the 58 Division I men’s hockey teams, only Dartmouth (104) and Cornell (108), both of which have played six fewer games than BSU, have fewer power-play opportunities than the Beavers’ 113 chances this winter. In WCHA play, BSU has just 91 PP opportu-nities trailing its nearest opponent, St. Cloud State (98) and by seven. Minnesota State leads the league with 134 man advantage opportunities.

droppiNg tHird period leadsLast season, Bemidji State had its streak of 47 consecutive games entering the third period without a loss snapped at 47 games (45-0-2)--a streak stretching back more than three seasons. Since that point, the Beavers have not been perfect translating third period leads into victories. This season when leading after two periods, BSU is 13-4-0. Most of those four losses could be attributed to BSU being out scored 36-26 in the third period this season, which includes a 32-20 differential in WCHA games.

By george He’s scored 100With two goals and an assist versus UAA junior Jordan George leads the team with 30 points (18g-12a) this season. His assist Saturday allowed to become the 59th player in the history of Bemidji State hockey to eclipse the 100-point plateau In 111 collegiate games, he has amassed 100 points (48g-52a).

daily douBlesLast weekend, three BSU players posted two-goal games. Jordan George scored both of BSU’s goals in a 2-1 March 2 before Shea Walters posted a career best two goals and Brance Orban matched a career-high two goals, which included the game-winner, in a 5-4 victory at UAA March 3.

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.

nCaa academic progress Rate Bemidji 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.

yBemidji State Hockey

Bemidji State ‘87 / 11th season at BSUu Five-Time CHA Coach of the Year (2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010)u Five-Time Spencer Penrose Award Finalist (2002, 2004, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2010)

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 Bemidji 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) -- 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 captain Brad Hunt 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 Dan Bakala at the 8:06 mark of the first period to put MU up 1-0. Trailing 1-0 to open the second period, Shea Walters 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, when Jordan George put a rebound past the Miami goaltender Connor Knapp for his first tally of 2011. Captain Ben Kinne and Hunt were credited with assists on the play. Following the goal BSU’s Radoslav Illo and Jake Areshenko were 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 Matt prapavessis 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.

COlORaDO spRInGs, Colo. (World Arena) -- Bemidji State University new-comer Mitch Cain 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. Jake Areshenko fun-neled the puck toward the net and Brance Orban, 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 Dan Bakala 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 tom serratore pulled BSU’s goaltender in favor of an extra attacker and just moments into play, the tactic resulted in a Brad Hunt 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 Danny Matt-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.

COLORADO SPRINGS, 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. Shea Walters and Radoslav Illo each posted career nights for the Bea-vers recording a goal to go with two assists, while Brance Orban 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 Mathieu Dugas, 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 Mitch Cain. 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 Drew Fisher 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. Ben Kinne buried 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.

(Sanford Center) -- The Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team battled back from a two-goal deficit early and held off a late rally to hand Michigan Technological University its first loss of the season 6-5 in the Beavers’ 2011-12 home-opener Friday evening at Sanford Center. Eleven different BSU players found the scoring column in the game, led by Jordan George and Brance Orban, who each netted two goals, and Matt prapavessis who posted a career-high two assists. Junior captain Ben Kinne opened an action-packed first period that saw seven goals scored with is second lamplighter of the season at the 2:51 mark on a wrist shot from between the circles. George and Prapavessis were cred-ited with assists on the play. Carl Nielsen tied the score 6:17 mark sparking a run of three goals by the Huskies, including tallies by David Johnstone and Blake Pietila, to take a 3-1 lead 12:49 into the first. Following MTU’s third goal, BSU head coach tom serratore quickly pulled goaltender starting goaltender Dan Bakala and inserted andrew Walsh. The move proved to stir a BSU comeback as the newcomer’s team-mates responded by potting three goals during the final four minutes of the period and took a 4-3 advantage into the first intermission. George started the flurry with his second goal of the season at the 16:52 mark. He added a rebound goal from the right post 56 seconds later (17:48) to knot the score at 3-3 before Orban finished a nifty display of power-play passing from Jamie MacQueen and Shea Walters as the Beavers’ regained the lead, 4-3, with just 1:16 remaining in the first period. Bemidji State’s lead swelled to two goals on an unassisted marker by Orban at the 10:32 mark of the second frame. Leading 5-3 to open the third period, the Beavers scored their fifth unan-swered goal 8:17 mark. Brad Hunt recorded the first goal of his senior season on a slapshot from the point just moments after the Beavers’ fifth power-play opportunity of the evening had expired. Three minutes later, the Huskies reeled the Beavers to within two goals, 6-4, when Alex McLeod collected a Steven Seigo attempt that rung off the right post and deposited it into the back of the net for his first of the 2011-12 season. The Huskies put the Beavers on the ropes late as Seigo added a goal through traffic with 33 seconds remaining. MTU would pull its goaltender in the game’s final moments and would generate two quality scoring changes with the extra attacker, but was unable to penetrate the goal as the Beavers escaped with a 6-5 victory. BSU out shot the Huskies 34-23 and went 1-for-6 on the power play, while its penalty-kill unit was flawless snuffing out all four of MTU’s power-play op-portunities.

DULUTH, Minn. (AMSOIL Arena) -- The Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team netted goals on its first two shots of the night, but the defend-ing national champion University of Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs responded with six unanswered goals to earn a 6-2 victory over the beavers Friday in the Beavers first trip to AMSOIL Arena. The early 2-0 deficit served as a wake up call as the Bulldogs as UMD would go on to dominate play, out shooting the Beavers 40 -17 in the game. The Beavers’ first goal came just 6:21 into the first period when Brad Hunt followed Jeff Jubinville and aaron Mcleod the net and put the puck past UMD goaltender Kenny Reiter for his second goal of the season. McLeod and Jubinville were credited with assists on the scoring play. BSU built a two-goal lead 65 seconds later. David Boehm found Jordan George behind the Bulldogs’ back line. George carried the puck into the zone and got a shot off. Reiter got a piece of it, but the puck trickled across the goal line for the junior’s third goal in the last three games. But the BSU lead would not last long. Out shot 15-5 in the first period, freshman goaltender Andrew Walsh, making his second collegiate start, was tested early and often and both UMD goals in the frame came when BSU was unable to corral rebounds. The first came at 8:21 when Walsh turned away four point-blank Bulldog shots, but Wade Bergman netted a goal form the right post when the Bea-vers were unable to clear the puck. The second came at the 13:24 mark of the period when J.T. Brown slipped a rebound past Walsh to tie the game at 2-2. The Bulldogs took their first lead of the game at the 8:15 mark of the second period. After killing a pair of UMD power-plays, in the opening mo-ments of the period, Keegan Flaherty slid the puck between the skates of Walsh to put the Bulldogs up 3-2 and the defending champs would not look back. Just 77 second later, Chris Casto scored his first collegiate goal to put the Bulldogs up 4-2 heading into the third period. The Bulldogs took a 5-2 when Brady Lamb converted the Bulldogs’ first power-play goal of the evening at the 7:11 mark of the third. The goal came with just two second remaining on UMD’s fifth man advantage opportunity of the game, snapping a string of 11 consecutive penalties killed by BSU. UMD finished the game 1-for-5 on the power-play, while holding the Beavers scoreless on their only two power-play opportunities of the night. The Bulldogs finally build a four-goal lead, 6-2, at the 11:07 mark of the third when Jack Connolly capped and end-to-end individual effort with a wrist shot that found the back of the net. Walsh made 34 saves in the game, but allowed six UMD goals and was tagged with the loss. He falls to 2-1-0 on the season. On the other end of the ice Reiter stopped 15 of 17 BSU shots to gain the win. He improves to 3-2-1 in 2011-12. The victory gives the Bulldogs a 20-10-1 record in the all-time series, while BSU is 8-5-1 in the last 14 meetings.

DULUTH, Minn. (AMSOIL Arena) -- No. 15 University of Minnesota Duluth earned a 1-0 victory versus the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team Saturday in a true defensive battle at AMSOIL Arena. It took more than 51 minutes of play, but Jack Connolly would net a pow-er-play goal at the 11:21 mark of the third period to break a scoreless tie and give Minnesota Duluth all the offense it would need as the Bulldogs’ goaltender Kenny Reiter would turn away all 25 Bemidji State shots for his first shutout of 2011-12. After allowing the UMD to pepper Friday’s goaltender Andrew Walsh (Fr., G, Dawson Creek, British Columbia) with 40 shots as the team surrendered six goals, the Beavers bounced back Saturday with a solid defensive effort, but were unable to capitalize on any offensive opportunities. Tied 0-0 at the end of 20 minutes of play, the Beavers held an 8-6 advan-tage in shots on goal. The stalemate continued through the end of the second period, however, UMD out shot BSU 13-11. BSU got its best scoring chance of the night at the 8:58 mark of the second when Luke McManus hauled Brance Orban (Jr., F, Lethbridge, Alberta) down in the act of shooting. The officials awarded Orban with a penalty shot, but Reiter kicked the attempt to the side to send the teams into the final 20 minutes of regulation with the score tied 0-0 with each team having 19 shots on goal. Minnesota Duluth looked to get the break it would need to pull ahead early in the third. Just 43 seconds in, BSU senior forward Darcy findlay (Bristol, Quebec), who was skating in his first game since suffering an injury in the Beavers’ Oct. 8 contest at Miami University, was whistled for a major penalty and game misconduct, setting the Bulldogs up with a five-minute power-play opportunity. But BSU responded, holding UMD scoreless and allowing the Bulldogs just one shot on goal during the opportunity. The kill, swung momentum in BSU’s favor, but it was unable to take ad-vantage. Four minutes and 41 seconds later, Bemidji State again found itself down a man when David Boehm (Jr., F, Naples, Fla.) was booked for tripping. The penalty put the Bulldogs on the power-play for the fifth time and it would take them just 51 seconds for them to find the back of the net. For the second consecutive night, UMD finished 1-of-5 on the power-play, while BSU had nothing to show for its two man advantage opportunities. After allowing the Beavers to score on their first two shots in the series, the Minnesota Duluth goaltender stopped BSU’s next 40 shots and held the Beavers scoreless for the final 112:54 of the series as he backstopped the Bulldogs to the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) series sweep. Reiter’s shutout stands as the first rime BSU has been held scoreless since a 2-0 loss at Wisconsin Dec. 11, 2010. The last time BSU lost a 1-0 game was Dec. 15, 2007 versus Minnesota State. BSU goaltender Dan Bakala (Sr., Calgary, Alberta) posted 27 saves in his return to the line up. He allowed the game’s only goal and was pegged with the loss. He falls to 1-3-0 on the season. The victory gives the Bulldogs a 21-10-1 record in the all-time series, while BSU still holds an 8-6-1 advantage in the last 15 meetings.

SAULT SAINTE MARIE, Mich. (Taffy Abel Arena) -- Jordan George scored with 41.1 seconds left in overtime to lift the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team to a 3-2 nonconference victory over No. 13 Lake Superior State University Friday night at Taffy Abel Arena in Sault Sainte Marie, Mich. Despite being out played for large portions of the first and second periods, the Beavers bucked down late and got the bounce when it mattered escaping with a series-opening victory. The Beavers hand the Lakers their second loss of the season (7-2-0), while improving to 4-5-0 on the season. Bemidji State struggled to generate offensive opportunities early, but when the Beavers got a chance, they capitalized. BSU scored on its first shot of the game and would add another goal on its third shot, taking a 2-0 over the nationally-ranked Lakers just 14:51 into the game. Jamie MacQueen got the Beavers on the board. He took a deflected shot from end to end for his first goal of the season 4:24 after the opening faceoff. At the 14:51 mark of the first, Shea Walters netted his fourth goal of 2011-12 when he corralled a loose puck on the back door and put it past the LSSU goaltender to put BSU up 2-0. Darcy findlay and Brad Hunt were credited with assists on the play. Trailing 2-0 after 20 minutes of play, the No. 13 Lakers battled back in the second out shooting the Beavers 10-6 and scoring the only goal of the period on a shot from Kevin Czuczman. Momentum swung in BSU’s favor in the third. The Beavers sustained pressure in their offensive zone and created their own opportunities on a regu-lar basis for the first time all night. BSU finished the period with a 12-8 ad-vantage in shots, but at the 6:53 mark of the third, Lake Superior State added another even-strength goal to send the Beavers to overtime for the first time this season. With the score knotted at 2-2 and less than a minute to play in overtime, the Lakers had one of their best scoring opportunities of the night, but Dan Bakala stood tall despite playing without his stick. He made the save and swatted the puck out of the crease with his blocker. Brady Wacker collected the puck and made a pass to David Boehm which set up the eventual game-winning goal by George. Bakala finished the night with 24 saves to gain his second victory of 2011-12 and improve to 2-3-0 in the season. He also backstopped a BSU penalty-kill unit which held the Lakers scoreless in three opportunities (0-3). Kevin Kapalka turned aside 23 BSU shots in the loss. He falls to 7-2-0. Although BSU won the game, it still trails the Lakers in the all-time series. LSSU continues to hold a 21-17-2 advantage ince the series began in 1966, which includes a 10-9-1 record versus the Beavers in Sault Sainte Marie, Mich.

SAULT SAINTE MARIE, Mich. (Taffy Abel Arena) -- No. 13 Lake Superior State University dominated play early and clung to a one-goal lead late to salvage a 2-1 victory over the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team and a nonconference series split at Taffy Abel Arena in Sault Sainte Marie, Mich. Saturday. For the second straight night, the Beavers were sluggish out of the gates, but tonight, Lake Superior State took a 1-0 lead into the first intermission to prove it. Just 1:13 into the game, Jake Areshenko was whistled for hooking, set-ting the Lakers up on their first power-play opportunity of the evening. Zach Trotman would convert on the man advantage opportunity 50 seconds later (2:03). In addition to the 1-0 lead, LSSU took an 18-1 edge in shots into the locker room after 20 minutes of play. Clutching a one-goal lead, the Lakers again went on the power-play 4:13 into the second period, but this time the short-handed situation served as a wake up call for the Beavers. BSU got a solid short-handed scoring opportu-nity during the LSSU power-play chance and would go on to get 11 shots off during the course of the next eight minutes capped by a goal. BSU’s only tally of the game came off the stick of Shea Walters at the 14:22 mark of the second period to knot the score at 1-1. Radoslav Illo got the scoring play started with a staunch forecheck to punch the puck to Brance Orban on the wing, who found Walters on the doorstep. The goal was Walters’ fifth of the season marking a new single-season high for the senior. The Beavers controlled play for a large portion of the third period, out shooting the Lakers 13-6, but it was LSSU that would score the only goal of theperiod to secure the win. Kyle Pobur corralled a loose puck off a BSU turnover and skated virtually end-to-end to score the game-winning goal at the 3:18 mark of the period. With just under six minutes to play, the Beavers looked to have the score evened at 2-2, but a review of the goal showed a BSU player was in the crease and the goal was waved off. BSU would make one more push to extend the game to overtime pulling its goaltender with 90 seconds to play. The Beavers attempted five shots and applied sustained pressure with the extra attacker, but were unable to come up with a goal to show for it. Out shot 29-21 in the game, including a 23-8 differential after 40 minutes, Bemidji State’s Andrew Walsh turned away 27 shots but was tagged with the loss after allowing both Lakers’ goals. His record moves to 2-2-0 on the season. In his first collegiate start, LSSU goaltender Kevin Murdock made 20 saves to pick up his first victory in a Laker uniform. The BSU power-play unit was held scoreless for the third straight game going 0-for-2 on the man advantage. Netting the first goal of the game, LSSU was 1-for-4 on the man advan-tage.

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- Junior forward Jordan George scored with 58 seconds left in regulation to force overtime and the Bemidji State Uni-versity men’s ice hockey team would escape with a 3-3 tie versus the Univer-sity of Nebraska-Omaha Friday at Sanford Center. Opening the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) series with a tie, the Beavers’ move to 4-6-1 overall and 2-4-1 in league play, while extend-ing its unbeaten streak versus the Mavericks to seven games (5-0-2)--dating back to Feb. 27, 2009. Widely out played for long stretches all night, the Beavers were out shot 43-25, which included a 15-6 deficit during the first 20 minutes of play alone. UNO took the Sanford Center crowd out of the game early. Josh Ar-chibald scored his fourth goal of the season to put the Mavericks up 1-0 just 7:48 after the opening face off. The Beavers began to crawl back into the game with an even-strength goal from Ben Kinne at the 15:51 mark. George and Brad Hunt (Sr., D, Ridge Meadows, British Columbia) were credited with assists on the play, sending the teams into the first intermission tied 1-1. The Beavers took their first and only lead of the game just 45 seconds into the second period. Brady Wacker deposited his first goal of the season, and second of his career, on a shot through traffic from the point after picking off an attempt to clear the puck by the Mavericks. UNO again tied the game, 2-2, at the 7:58 mark of the third period on Terry Broadhurst’s team-leading ninth goal of the season, collecting a Matt White shot attempt off the back wall and found the back of the net from the right post. Jayson Megna gave the Mavericks a 3-2 lead to finish the second period lighting the lamp on a deflection in front of the net with just two seconds left in the stanza. BSU would trail Nebraska-Omaha for the first 19 minutes of the final frame, but when Hunt played the puck around the back of the net to Matt prapavessis who found George streaking with a tape-to-tape, 100-foot pass that led to the junior’s team-leading sixth goal of the season. George and Hunt led the Beavers with two points apiece. George finished with a goal and an assist, while Hunt posted a pair of helpers. Dan Bakala turned aside a season-high 40 sots to backstop the Beavers to the tie. He moves to 2-3-1 on the season. BSU came up dry on its two power-play opportunities (0-2), while the Bea-ver penalty-kill continues to play well snuffing out four of the Mavericks’ five man advantage opportunities. Bemidji State continues to cling to the slimmest advantage in the all-time series (6-5-2), while it remains unbeaten on its home ice in 2011-12 (2-0-1).

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- Terry Broadhurst scored twice and Jay-son Megna added a pair of assists to lift the University of Nebraska-Omaha over the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team in Western Collegiate Hockey Association play Saturday at Sanford Center. Owning a 2-1 lead heading into the third period, the Mavericks netted three goals during the final 20 minutes to pull away handing BSU its first set-back at home this season and ending the Beavers’ seven-game unbeaten streak in the series (5-0-2) dating back to Feb. 27, 2009. Trailing 1-0 after the first period, Darcy findlay accounted for the Bea-vers’ only goal of the night at the 5:24 mark of the second period tying the game 1-1. Brad Hunt (Sr., D, Ridge Meadows, British Columbia) unleashed a shot from the point that was deflected in front by Findlay. Matt prapavessis was also credited with assists on the goal. Broadhurst gave UNO the lead for good at the 8:02 mark of the second. The Mavericks took a 3-1 lead 3:06 into the third when Broadhurst netted UNO’s only power-play of the evening with help from Alex Hudson and Jayson Megna. Nebraska-Omaha would finish the game 1-for-5 on the man advan-tage. With just under five minutes to play, BSU head coach tom serratore rolled the dice and pulled goaltender Dan Bakala for an extra attacker. The gamble would backfire as Josh Archibald would record an empty-net goal to put UNO up 4-1 with 4:12 to play. Brent Gwidt added the Mavericks’ final goal of the game at the 16:44 mark of the third period settling the score at 5-1. Nebraska-Omaha dominated play during the final two periods out shoot-ing the Beavers 33-12 and finished the night with a 41-21 edge in shots on goal. Bakala turned aside 36 shots and allowed four goals in the loss. He falls to 2-4-1 on the season. UNO’s John Falkner made nine of his 20 saves in the first period and backstopped a penalty-kill unit that held the Beavers scoreless on four power-play opportunities, marking the second consecutive night the Beavers have come up without a goal on the man advantage (0-for-6). Falkner improved to 4-3-0 overall.

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- The University of North Dakota’s Mario Lamoureaux scored an even-strength goal at the 15:22 mark of the third period to break a 2-2 tie and propel the Fighting Sioux to a 5-2 victory over Bemidji State University Saturday in Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) men’s hockey action at Sanford Center. The win continued UND’s long-standing reign in the series. The Fighting Sioux have now won the last 14 head-to-head match ups between the teams and own a 22-1-1 record in the all-time series. The Beavers were the first to strike, getting a goal from Brance Orban at the 1:22 mark of the first period. Freshman Mitch Cain won an offensive zone face off to the junior and Orban ripped a shot past the UND goaltender Aaron Dell for his third goal of the season. Four minutes and 38 seconds later (6:49), the Fighting Sioux tied the score on a rebound goal by Corban Knight. The goal came just six seconds into UND’s first power-play opportunity of the evening. The team would finish the game 2-for-4 on the man advantage capitalizing on another power-play op-portunity late in the third to put the game out of reach. Ties 1-1 to open the second period, North Dakota broke the deadlock at the 4:30 mark of the period on a Brenden O’Donnell lamplighter. The goal would stand as the only maker of the second period giving the visiting Sioux a one-goal edge as the third period got underway. Forward Shea Walters scored his career-high sixth goal of the season just 72 seconds into the third period to even the score at 2-2. Brady Wacker found Walters open on the right post the senor converted. Jamie MacQueen was also credited with an assist on the play. When MacQueen was sent to the box for hooking at the 4:49 mark of the third, all momentum seemed to swing in North Dakota’s favor. Although the team was held scoreless during the two-minute the power-play chance, UND attempted 12 shots, getting five on target. The Sioux controlled play for the remainder of the period and got the back breaking goal with just 4:38 left in regulation. Brock Nelson would add a power-play goal at the 18:30 mark and an empty-net tally with 29 seconds on the clock to put the game out of reach. The Fighting Sioux finished the game with a 36-25 edge in shots on goal despite trailing BSU 11-7 after the first period. BSU was 0-for-2 on the man advantage marking the seventh consecutive game they have be held scoreless on the man advantage. Dan Bakala played 59:41 between the pipes for the Beavers and posted 31 saves. Allowing four UND goals, he fell to 2-5-1 on the season.

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- The Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team has piled up nearly 1,000 victories in 56 years of hockey history, but since Feb. 7, 1970, none of them have come against University of North Dakota until Sunday night. Jordan George’s second period power-play lamp-lighter proved to be the only goal of the game as Dan Bakala turned aside 26 Fighting Sioux shots en route to a 1-0 victory and his seventh career shutout. The BSU win ended a 41-year drought versus UND and snapped North Dakota’s 14-game winning streak in the all-time series. UND still holds a 22-2-1 record in the all-time series. After a scoreless first period, the Beavers got the break they needed at the 7:56 mark of the second period. UND’s Mark MacMillian was whistled for tripping and before the Fighting Sioux could coral the puck, Andrew MacWil-liam took an interference penalty setting BSU up with a two-minute 5-on-3 power-play opportunity. One-minute, 12-seconds into the penalty, George collected a rebound off the left pad of North Dakota goaltender Aaron Dell and roofed his team-leading seventh goal of the season. The goal marked an end to another significant drought for the Beavers. BSU’s last goal on the man advantage came Oct. 22--a scoreless streak spanning eight games and 20 power-play opportunities. Senior defender Brad Hunt inched closer to BSU great and former team-mate Matt Read (2007-11) with an assist on BSU’s scoring play. With 76 as-sists during his collegiate career, he is just two helpers from BSU’s Division I-era assists mark. The Beavers clung to 1-0 lead through the remainder of the second de-spite taking two penalties late in the period. The third period has been an Achilles heel for the Beavers in 2011-12. Through 13 games, BSU had been out scored 19-8 in the third, which includes a 15-4 deficit in the final period of WCHA contests, but the Beavers buckled down and killed nine minutes of penalties, included a five-minute major, to keep the Fighting Sioux of the scoreboard. Defensively, Bemidji State was solid from the opening face off to the final horn. In addition to Bakala’s shutout, the team piled up 21 blocked shots. BSU’s penalty-kill unit was a perfect 6-for-6 on the night, while its power-play finished with a goal on three man advantage chances. Bakala improved to 3-5-1 on the season.

ST. CLOUD, MINN. (National Hockey Center) -- Junior Jordan George scored two goals and posted an assist to lead the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team to a 6-6 tie with St. Cloud State University Friday at National Hockey Center. aaron Mcleod added a pair of goals and Brad Hunt posted two assists as nine BSU players had a hand in scoring. In a wild Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) contest that saw 12 goals scored, four lead changes and the score tied on four occasions, the Beavers rallied from a pair of two-goal deficits to earn a tie and a point in the league standings. Bemidji State was first to strike in a high-tempo, five-goal first period. McLeod redirected a pass from Jamie MacQueen between the pads of SCSU’s freshman goaltender Ryan Faragher to give the Beavers a 1-0 lead 5:03 into the game. St. Cloud State would respond with a Nick Oliver goal at the 11:31 mark of the period and would get goals from Ben Hanowski and Taylor Johnson during the next 4:14 to extend its lead to 3-1 with 4:15 to go in the first. But the Huskies would commit a costly turnover in their own zone and Bemidji State would make them pay. Jeff Jubinville picked up the puck and placed a nifty pass on the stick of George, who pocketed a backhand over Faragher to reel the Beavers to within a goal, 3-2, before the first period expired (17:23). In a penalty-riddled second period, the Beavers and Huskies each got seven shots on goal and netted a power-play marker, but the Beavers man-aged to record an even-strength goal to even the score at 4-4 after 40 minutes. George registered his second goal of the night at the 1:25 mark of the sec-ond, just 39 seconds into the Beavers’ first power-play opportunity of the night. Brady Wacker posted the first of his two points on the night (1-1=2), scoring his second goal of the season at the 3:30 mark to put the Beavers up 4-3, before SCSU bounced back with a Hanowski power-play marker at the 9:16 mark that would knot the game 4-4. George was credited with an assist on the play. Tied 4-4 to open the third, the Huskies got goals from Travis Novak and Jordy Christian to take a 6-4 lead just 5:42 into the frame. But the resilient Beavers would not back down. After sitting out of BSU’s last three games due to injury, Radoslav Illo sparked the team’s second comeback with an unassisted goal at the10:06 mark of the third. He skated from end to end and scored stick side for his second goal of the season. Just over three minutes later (13:23), McLeod took a pass from Matt prapavessis, skated down the slot, got the goaltender to commit low and roofed his second goal of the night to settle the score at 6-6. Hunt was also credited with an assist on the play, his team-leading 11th of the season and 78th of his career, matching BSU great Matt Read (2008-11) for BSU’s Division I-era assists record (78). The score would stay locked at 6-6 through the end of regulation and despite out shooting SCSU 5-3 and dominating the extra period, the Beavers would settle for the tie on the road marking just the third point taken by BSU on the Huskies’ ice since Mar. 7, 1987. Despite getting just two power-play opportunities on the night, BSU won the special teams battle finishing 1-for-2 (.500) on the man advantage, while snuffing out two of the Huskies’ three power-play chances, holding the hosts to just one shot on the power-play. Relieving Bakala at the 15:45 mark of the first period, Andrew Walsh was credited with the tie. He allowed three goals in 49:15 and piled up 14 saves, which included three stops in overtime. He moves to 2-2-1 in his career. The Beavers continue to hold an edge in the all-time series 44-39-4.

ST. CLOUD, Minn. (National Hockey Center) -- Brad Hunt became the sixth defenseman in the history of the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey program to eclipse the 100-point mark Saturday netting the game-winning goal to lead the Beavers to a 3-1 victory at St. Cloud State University. Defense and special teams stood tall for the Beavers in a game riddled with penalties. The BSU penalty-kill snuffed out all five of the Huskies’ power-play opportunities, allowing just five shots on goal in 9:06, which included a five-minute major, while the power-play unit recorded a goal in three chances. On the back end, Dan Bakala bounced back from an early exit Friday, to stop 33 of 34 SCSU shots on goal to gain the win and improve to 4-5-1. After a track meet-type, 65-minute, 6-6 tie in the series opener, the teams picked up right where they left off to open the finale. St. Cloud State opened the scoring at the 3:25 mark of the game, when Nick Oliver snuck the puck through traffic and into the back of the BSU net. Just as they had twice the night before, the Beavers regrouped and rallied to even the score. This time the SCSU lead would last only 47 seconds. Jordan George erased the one-goal deficit with his team-leading 10th goal of the season, and third of the weekend, after taking a pass from aaron Mcleod in the slot and dropping a backhand over the shoulder of SCSU goal-tender Ryan Faragher. Junior blueliner Matt Carlson was also credited with an assist on the play marking the first point of his junior season. The Beavers would take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission thanks to the eventual game-winning goal by Hunt. Jeff Jubinville won an offensive zone face off to Hunt at the top of the right circle. The senior skated to the top of the slot, wound up and like he has so many times during his career, unleashed a laser through traffic and past Faragher. Things got ugly for the Beavers in the second period. Owning the narrow-est of leads, 2-1, the Beavers were whistled for three penalties, which included a five-minute major and game misconduct. The BSU penalty-kill unit suc-cessfully held the SCSU power-play crew without a goal for 5:25, but failed to generate any offensive push as the team was out shot 10-1 in the frame. Clinging to a 2-1 lead, the Beavers found themselves short a man for the first 3:35 of the third period, but caught a break when Cam Ried was penalized of cross-checking forcing the teams to 4-on-4 for the bulk of the remaining Brady Wacker major. The Beavers took advantage of another break at the 15:48 mark when Nic Dowd was sent to the box for hooking setting the Beavers up with their third power-play opportunity of the evening. Sixty-one seconds into the man ad-vantage, Brance Orban scooped up a loose puck in the BSU defensive zone and found Radoslav Illo streaking up the ice. Illo netted his second goal in as many night, completing the 2-on-1 with a slapshot goal. The Beavers were out shot 34-14 in the game. BSU’s 14-shot victory stands as the lowest shot total in a win since it was out shot 42-14 at Colorado College Dec. 29, 2006. BSU owns a 45-39-4 advantage in the all time rivalry and with a win and a draw, earned a series win in St. Cloud for the first time since back-to-back victories Dec. 9-10, 1983.

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- Nationally-ranked University of Denver used two goals in the final eight minutes of regulation to get past the Bemi-dji State University men’s hockey team 3-2 Friday night in Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) action at Sanford Center. After second period goals from Shea Walters and Jamie MacQueen, the Beavers took a 2-1 lead into the third but the DU duo of Jason Zucker and Drew Shore posted goals late in the third period to doom BSU’s hope of an upset. After an evenly-play, scoreless first period the No. 13 Pioneers came out of the first intermission to grab the game’s first lead. Jason Zucker put the Pioneers in front at the 3:16 mark on his ninth goal of the season. Drew Shore and Ty Loney were credited with assists on the play. The Beavers responded 4:42 later with a goal off the stick of Walters. The lamplighter knotted the score at 1-1, reignited the Sanford Center crowd of 3,229 and swung momentum in favor of BSU. Aided by a pair of DU penalties, the Beavers controlled play for the major-ity of the second period. MacQueen potted his third goal of the season (16:13) with help from Jeff Jubinville and Jake Areshenko, his career-high second helper of the game, to send BSU into the third period holding a 2-1 advantage. Bemidji State out shot the Pioneers 7-3 in the first 10 minutes of the third period and seemed to have the DU right where they wanted it, but in the blink of an eye everything changed. BSU goaltender Dan Bakala played a puck behind his net, but it bounced off a teammate’s skate in front of the crease and a vacated net and Zucker tapped in his second goal of the game to event he score at 2-2 with 7:09 to play. The Beavers were never able to recover. Shore netted the game-winner at the 15:48 mark as Denver escaped with the 3-2 lead. Bakala turned aside 25 Denver shots, but allowed three goals and was tagged with the loss. He falls to 4-6-1 on the season. At the other end, DU goaltender Juho Olkinuora stopped 21 of 23 BSU shots to claim the second victory of his collegiate career. He is now 2-3-2 on the season. BSU finished 0-for-2 on the power-play, while its penalty-kill unit also held DU scoreless on its only two man advantage opportunities. The DU victory preserves undefeated record versus Bemidji State as the Pioneers improve to 9-0-0 in the series dating back to 1967.

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- A Ben Kinne ( goal 4:03 into the third period lifted the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team over No. 13 University of Denver 2-1 Saturday at Sanford Center. Jordan George tallied BSU’s other goal and Andrew Walsh turned aside a career-high 36 shots to help the Beavers salvage a series split and improve to 7-9-2 over all and 6-7-2 in WCHA play. Hard-nosed defensive play, a solid special teams effort and good goal-tending, attributes that have become common with the 2011-12 edition of the Beavers, again helped BSU hold one of the most talented frontline in college hockey to one goal and propel the Beavers to victory. It took the Beavers only 3:26 to take the lead and they would never look back. George’s team-leading 11th goal of the season, assisted by Kinne and Brad Hunt on the power play, got BSU and opened the floodgates for the BSU Student-Athlete Advisory Committee’s annual Teddy Bear Toss, during which the generous Beaver Hockey fans peppered the ice with over 500 stuffed ani-mals. With an assist on the play, Hunt surpassed former teammate and Matt Read (2007-2011) to claim the top spot on BSU’s Division I-era assist list with 79. Bemidji State took a 1-0 lead into the third period, a frame that the Bea-vers have been out scored 23-11 through their first 16 games season. The Pioneers came out of the second intermission determined to get back into the game. Junior forward aaron Mcleod denied the Pioneers’ on their first legiti-mate scoring opportunity of the game diving in front of a virtually open net, taking a point-blank shot in the bread basket just 46 seconds into the final period. At the 4:03 mark the Beavers got a bit of breathing room when Shea Wal-ters found Kinne on his forehand nearing the right post. The senior pushed the puck through DU goaltender Juho Olkinuora’s pads to put the Beavers up 2-0. The Pioneers continued to pressure the Beavers. Aided by a pair of pow-er-play opportunities, DU out shot the Beavers 19-5 in the final 20 minutes. Walsh stood tall making 18 saves. The Pioneers’ only goal of the game came at the 11:47 mark. Daniel Doremus collected a rebound off the shot of David Makowski on the left post that roofed it for his third goal of the season. Despite DU pulling its goaltender with nearly two minutes to pay, that was all the Pioneers could muster as the Beavers clamped down and claimed the win. Walsh improved to 3-2-1 on the season with the win. BSU was 1-for-3 on the power-play, while its penalty-kill unit completed the night a perfect 6-for-6 to improve its league best numbers to 66-for-78 (.846.). The BSU victory was the first ever over Denver. BSU is now 1-9-0 all-time versus the Pioneers in a rivalry dating back to 1967.

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- Backed by a 20-save effort by freshman goaltender Andrew Walsh, the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team served the University of Alabama-Huntsville a 3-0 loss Friday night at Sanford Center. In a game decided by sharp goaltending, solid defense and a good penal-ty-kill effort, BSU got goals from three different players, en route to its 16th win in the last 20 meetings versus UAH (16-2-2). Both BSU and UAH struggled out of the gates to find enough ice to gener-ate any offensive pressure and finished the first period of play tied 0-0. The Beavers broke the scoreless tie 3:17 into the second period on an de-layed penalty goal. Jake Areshenko netted his second goal of the season on a slap shot from the point. Mitch Cain started the play dumping the puck into the corner. Brady Wacker dug the puck out of the corner and skated it around the back of the net before finding Areshenko on the blue line. The alternate captain wound up and fired a bullet toward the net that was redirected off the stick of a Charger defender and past the UAH goaltender Clarke Saunders at the 3:17 mark. After snuffing out a pair of UAH power-plays in the opening period, the BSU penalty-kill unit was put to the test at the 7:13 mark of the second. Areshenko was whistled for a checking from behind penalty that sent him to the dressing room early and left the Beavers short handed for the next five minutes. Just as it has over the course of the lest three games, the unit kept its opponent at bay negating the man advantage and keeping UAH off the scoreboard. The success of the penalty-kill unit recharged the Sanford Center crowd and the BSU bench. Just 3:40 later (15:53), senior forward Shea Walters gave the Beavers a 2-0 cushion. The senior flicked his eighth goal of the season to the corner of the net after Brance Orban found him in the slot with a pass. Matt prapavessis was also credited with an assist on the play. Both teams ramped up the pace to open the third period. Tied at 14 shots apiece though the first 40 minutes, the Beavers out shot the Chargers 10-6 in the final period, potting an open-net goal off the stick of Ben Kinne at the 18:54 mark to put the game out of reach and settle the score at 3-0. Walsh improved to 4-2-1 in 2011-12 with the win, as he extended his unbeaten streak to three games (2-0-1). In addition to his 20 saves, the rookie served as the last line of defense for a penalty-kill unit that was a perfect 5-for-5 on the night. Saunders finished the night stopping 21 of 23 shots faced. He falls to 1-13-1 on the season. The victory allows the Beavers to build upon its lead in the series. Since the rivalry began in 1994, BSU is 37-28-4, while it has not lost a game to the Chargers on its home ice since a Feb. 17, 2007 4-3 loss at the John S. Glas Fieldhouse--a streak spanning 10 games (10-0-0).

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- The Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team got scoring from 10 different players, netted three power-play goals and freshman goaltender Andrew Walsh recorded 27 saves en route to a 5-0 shutout victory to wrap up a nonconference series sweep of the University of Alabama-Huntsville (1-19-1) Saturday at Sanford Center. The Beavers built an early two-goal lead and would not look back using the victory to climb to 9-9-2 overall and reach .500 for the first time since the team was 3-3-0 following an Oct. 22 triumph over Michigan Tech. The win also marked BSU’s sixth (6-3-1) of the season at Sanford center surpassing its win total from the 2010-11 capaign--its first in the facility. It took the Beavers just 31 second to find the back of the net for the first time. Brad Hunt got the play started passing the puck up the boards to Jordan George. George skated the puck deep into the zone and found centerman aaron Mcleod skating down the slot for a quick shot from between the fa-ceoff circles. The Beavers constructed a two-goal advantage at the 12:12 mark of the period taking advantage of its first power-play opportunity of the evening. Radoslav Illo beat UAH goaltender Clarke Saunders with a slap shot from the point that just snuck in over his outstretched blocker. Brady Wacker and tyler tosunian--the rookie’s first point at BSU. Up 2-0 after the first 20 minutes of play, the Beavers kicked the pedal to the floor in the second out shooting UAH 11-6 while building a 4-0 lead. Bemidji State’s third goal of the night came off the stick of Wacker marking his second point of the night and his second multi-point game of the season. Ben Kinne found Brance Orban on the right post from behind the net. The forward then shuttled the puck to Wacker on the point and the blueliner riffled the puck through traffic and off the foot of a Charger defender at the 1:16 mark for his third goal of the season and the Beavers’ second power-play marker of the night. The BSU cushion grew to 4-0 at the 15:26 mark of the second when Hunt posted power-play goal in the midst of a five-minute major penalty to UAH’s Brice Geoffrion. The goal, Hunt’s fourth of the season, came with help from Matt prapaves-sis and the first collegiate assist from fellow freshman Danny Mattson. The goal forced UAH head coach Chis Luongo to pull Saunders and insert backup goaltender John Griggs. Mattson slammed the door on the Chargers at the 13:28 mark of the third period. With the teams playing 4-on-4, he tipped a Charger pass to himself in the neutral zone, beat the UAH blueline to the crease and posted his first goal in the green and white. The Beavers finished the night 3-for-5 on the man advantage marking the first time BSU netted three power-play goals in a single game since Jan. 3, 2010. On the flip side, the Beavers’ penalty-kill unit was flawless. The Beavers held Ala.-Huntsville scoreless on three power-play chances. Walsh improved to 5-2-1 in 2011-12 with the win, as he extended his unbeaten streak to four games (3-0-1) and his shutout streak to 134:08. Saunders stopped 10 shots in 35:26 and allowed four. He falls to 1-14-1 on the season. Griggs finished the game allowing one goal and turning away 13 shots. The victory allows the Beavers to build upon its lead in the series. Since the rivalry began in 1994, BSU is 38-28-4, while it has not lost a game to the Chargers on its home ice since a Feb. 17, 2007--a streak spanning 11 games (11-0-0).

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- Propelled by a three-goal third period, the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team returned from a two-week layoff to claim a 4-1 victory over Bowling Green State University Friday night at Sanford Center. Toting a 1-0 advantage out of a sloppy first period, aaron Mcleod), Drew Fisher and Ben Kinne each found the net in the second, while freshman goal-tender Andrew Walsh picked up 26 saves backstopping the Beavers to the nonconference win. BSU was sluggish out of the gate and was out shot 12-6 in the first period, but a wrist shot from between the face off circles by Radoslav Illo gave the Beavers a lead they would never relinquish. Shea Walters was credited with an assist on the play after wining the offensive zone face off to Illo. McLeod put the Beavers up 2-0 jut 42 seconds into the second frame after Jordan George found the junior in front of the crease with a pass from the end boards. The BSU lead swelled to three goals at the 14:16 mark when Brance Or-ban found Fisher on the left post in front of a virtually open net. Fisher tapped in his third goal of the season. Bowling Green cut its deficit to 3-1 just 32 seconds later when Ted Pletch corralled a BSU turnover on the red line, skated it into the zone and beat the BSU goaltender, snapping Walsh’s shutout streak at 163:02--a streak reaching back four games to the third period of BSU’s 2-1 victory over the University of Denver Dec. 10. Kinne settled the score at 4-1 at the 19:50 mark of the second. He took a pass from Matt prapavessis on the goal line and skated the puck around the right face off circle before firing a shot through traffic from the slot. The goal was his seventh of the season and counts as his 50th collegiate point (24g-26a). Out shot 27-16 in the game, the Beavers scored on four of their first 13 shots. Walsh improved to 6-2-1 in 2011-12 with the win, as he extended his unbeaten streak to four games (3-0-1). He turned aside 26 shots and allowed just one goal, while serving as the last line of defense for a penalty-kill unit that was a perfect 4-for-4 to extend is string of scoreless opponent power-pay op-portunities to 26. The Beavers have not allowed a power-play goal since Dec. 2 at St. Cloud State. Hammond was tagged with the loss after allowing four goals and making just nine saves in 39:54 of play. Zacharias stopped three shots and held Bemidji State without a goal dur-ing the final 20 minutes. The victory in the first ever meeting between the Beavers and Falcons allows BSU to claim a 1-0-0 edge in the all-time series, while holding BGSU without a win in its last nine outings (0-7-2). BSU improved to 5-2-0 in nonconference play this season.

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- A David Boehm breakaway goal with 1.1 seconds remaining in the second period proved to be the game-winning goal as the Bemidji State University men’s hockey team prevailed 2-1 over Bowl-ing Green State University. The Beavers improve to 11-9-2 with the win. The Falcons drop to 6-13-3 on the year. After a poorly-played first period during which BSU was out shot 10-5, the Beavers trailed BGSU 1-0, but would recovered with a typical high-tempo second period which saw the Beavers bury a pair of goals to earn the win and secure the nonconference series sweep. Bowling Green took advantage of its first power-play opportunity of the evening to grab an early one-goal lead. With Jake Areshenko in the penalty box serving two minutes for checking from behind, Ryan Carpenter picked the puck of the boards and found Dan DeSaivo rushing the net for a shot. BSU goaltender Dan Bakala kicked the shot to the side, but Bryce Williamson corralled the rebound on the left post an potted his seventh goal of the season at the 13:35 mark. The power-play goal was the first the BSU penalty-kill unit had allowed since Dec. 2-- a streak spanning 26 opponent man advantage opportunities and seven games. Trailing 1-0, the Beavers turned the tables in the second period using sus-tained offensive pressure to out shoot BGSU 14-2 in the frame. Jeff Jubinville got the Beavers on the board at the 14:32 mark of the period tipping his first goal of the season past the Falcons’ Andrew Hammond. Jamie MacQueen started the play with a centering pass from the far boards to Danny Mattson in the slot. Mattson skated around the crease and attempted to stuff the puck between the post and Hammond’s skate. Jubinville crashed the net and found the puck sitting on the goal line. BSU got a boost to end the period when Shea Walters blocked a shot in front of Bakala to Radoslav Illo in the right face off circle. Illo found David Boehm with a burst of speed through the neutral zone to beat the BGSU back line and found the back of the net before time inthe period would expire for first goal of his Bemidji State career. The goal would stand as the game winner as Bakala and the BSU defense shut down the Falcons’ attack during the third period. Bakala, who made his first appearance since Dec. 9, turned aside 22 Bowling Green shots for his fifth victory of the season. He improves to 5-6-1 in 2011-12. Out shot 28-23, the Bowling Green’s Hammond made 26 saves, but was tagged with the loss after allowing both BSU goals. He falls to 6-12-3 on the year. The victory gave the Beavers their second consecutive sweep and third of the season. Beavers now claims a 2-0-0 edge in the all-time series, while holding BGSU without a win in its last 10 outings (0-8-2). BSU improves to 6-2-0 in nonconference play this season.

DENVER, Colo. (Magness Arena) -- A five-goal second period and career night for Drew Shore propelled the University of Denver men’s ice hockey team past Bemidji State University, 6-3, Friday in Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) action at Magness Arena in Denver, Colo. A night which served as a homecoming of sorts for BSU blueliner Kyle Brodie, who grew up in the shadow of Denver, despite a career-best goal and an assist for the Northglenn, Colo. native, it was Shore, who stole the show leading all players with two goals and three assists, while logging his 100th career point in the game. BSU out played the Pioneers in the first period out shooting the host 10-5 and taking a 1-0 lead on Brodie’s slap shot from the top of the left circle just 5:19 in, but gave up five goals on nine shots in a second period. The Pioneers opened the second with back-to-back goals separated by just 1:58 to claim their first lead of the night. Ty Loney got DU on the board at the 2:28 mark of the second when he flipped a backhand past BSU goaltender Andrew Walsh. At the 3:44 mark, BSU’s Sam Windle was whistled for interference. It would take DU just 42 seconds to find the back of the net on the power play. Shore scored his first goal of the night scooping a rebound over the shoulder of Walsh. The Beavers caught a spark when Brodie intercepted a DU pass in the neutral zone and tipped it ahead to Jordan George. BSU’s leading scorer skated the puck into the zone and wound up for a slap shot for the top of the left faceoff circle that found the back of the net to tie the game, 2-2, at the 6:17 mark of the second. The scoring play resulted in George’s team-leading 12th goal of the season and the first collegiate multi-point effort for Brodie. With Jeff Jubinville and Nick Shore already in the box and the teams play-ing 4-on-4, aaron Mcleod was booked for tripping at the (11:44). The Pio-neers’ fourth power-play opportunity of the night served as the fulcrum point of the game. Joey LaLeggia potted is ninth goal of the year just 20 seconds later. Shore and Loney would each add their second goals of the night before time ran out in the period and DU carried a 5-2 lead into the final 20 minutes of play. Orban, who assisted on Brodie’s goal, garnered his second point of the contest with a power-play goal to cap a nifty passing play from Danny Matt-son and Radoslav Illo at the 8:38 mark of the third to bring the Beavers to within two goals, 5-3. Denver would be called or three penalties during the final seven minutes of play providing BSU with opportunities to get back in the game, but Chris Knowlton would end the Beavers’ comeback hopes prematurely when he scored an empty-net goal with 2:14 left on the clock to extend DU’s lead to 6-3. The loss snapped BSU’s five-game wining streak extending back to a Dec. 10 victory over Denver, 2-1. Walsh was tagged with the loss after allowing five goals on 23 shots. The freshman’s record dips to 6-3-1 on the season. On the other end, Adam Murray turned aside 27 shots and allowed three goals in 60: minute to play to gain the win and improve to 7-2-1 overall in 2011-12. BSU managed one power-play goal on five power-play changes, while its penalty-kill unit snuffed out 3-of-4 DU man advantage opportunities.

DENVER, Colo. (Magness Arena) -- Jason Zucker scored twice and had an assist as University of Denver defeated the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team 3-2 Saturday at Magness Arena in Denver to complete the series sweep. Leading 2-1 to open the third period and a series split in their sights, the Beavers were unable to answer back-to-back goals in the final 14 minutes and saw their 12th victory slip away to a skilled, opportunistic Pioneers team. Senior captain Ben Kinne got the Beavers an early lead when he took a pass from aaron Mcleod at the top of the left circle and unleashed a slap shot that found its way through traffic and into the back of the net. Kinne’s eighth goal of the season came at the 10:50 mark of the period. BSU’s momentum swing would not last long. Senior forward Jamie MacQueen was tagged with a five-minute major penalty and game misconduct for checking from behind at the 12:42 mark of the first setting DU up with its first power-play opportunity of the game. BSU limited clear looks at the net for just over four minutes, but Jason Zucker potted his 12th goal of the season on a sharp-angle shot from the goal line extended that found space between BSU goaltender Dan Bakala and the right post at the 16:47 mark. Joey LaLeggia and Scott Mayfield were credited with assists on the play. The teams would skate to the locker rooms locked in a 1-1 game, but be-fore time would expire on the period, DU’s Mayfield was escorted to the locker room after being whistled for a five minute major and game misconduct for checking from behind. The loss was compounded by the fact that DU dressed only five defensemen for the game. Aided by 4:40 of power-play time to open the second period, the Beavers car-ried play. The Beavers converted the opportunity 2:27 into the period on a Wacker wrist shot from the blue line. Danny Mattson and Radoslav Illo each helped on the play extending their respective scoring streaks to four and five games. At the 18:13 mark of the second, Illo and Didier were each penalize for roughing. Illo’s penalty came with an additional penalty for face washing pro-viding DU with a man advantage opportunity that lingered into the third period. After trailing 14-8 in shots during the first, BSU out shot DU 11-5 in the second to even the shots 19-19 heading into the final frame. Despite being short-handed to open the final 20 minutes of play, BSU held the Pioneers at bay until the 6:14 mark when BSU players collided and Chris Knowlton found breathing room to capped a Pioneers’ rush by sniping a near-side goal from the right faceoff circle. Tied 2-2 with 9:09 to play, freshman blueliner Matt prapavessis was booked for holding in an effort to prevent a shot on a DU odd man rush. Denver would answer with a power-play goal just 59 second later to take the lead for good. Zucker’s second tally of the night came when he corralled a rebound sitting in crease and buried it into a virtually open net. DU finished the night 2-for-4 on the man advantage, while BSU converted just one of its three power-play chances. Bakala posted 25 saves in 58:30 of play, but surrendered all three DU goals and fell to 5-7-1 on the season. Olkinuora improved to 6-6-2 on the year with a 25-save performance. BSU is now 1-11-0 all-time versus the Pioneers in a rivalry dating back to 1967 and have yet to win a game in Denver (0-8-0).

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- On a night when the Bemidji State Univer-sity men’s ice hockey team was out shot 40-26, senior goaltender Dan Bakala stood tall turning aside 39 Minnesota State University, Mankato shots to open the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) series with a 2-1 victory Friday at Sanford Center. Tied 1-1 midway through the third period, Jordan George potted his team-leading 13th goal of the season to provide BSU with the offense it need-ed to break the stalemate, gain two points in the league standings and improve to 12-11-2 overall and 6-9-2 in WCHA play. Minnesota State took the first lead of the game at 8:58 of the opening period when Max Gaede buried his own rebound. Park Rapids, Minn. native Zach Lehrke, bother of former Beaver forward Tyler and Michael Dorr, brother of former BSU women’s forward Frannie, were credited with assists on the play. Down 1-0, the Beavers found their backs against the wall at the 12:47 mark then the team lost forward Darcy findlay for the game after the senior was whistled for a five-minute checking from behind penalty and a game mis-conduct. The BSU penalty-kill unit responded by holding the Mavericks score-less for the entire penalty and BSU escaped trailing MSU by a goal at the end of the first. Bemidji State clawed its way back into the game before a back-and-fourth second period came to an end. With 4:40 to play in the period, Jake Areshenko found Danny Mattson at enter ice with an outlet pass. Mattson skated into the zone and capped the play a wrist shot placed just over the glove hand of the MSU goaltender Phil Cook from the right face off circle. The goal was the second of the season for Mattson and stretched his current scoring streak to a career-best five games. The teams opened the final 20 minutes of play locked a 1-1 tie. Despite carrying play for the majority of the period, the Beavers relied heavily on Bakala stay in the game and, after the George goal at the 9:46 mark, to hold the lead. BSU junior aaron Mcleod started the go-ahead-goal scoring play skat-ing the puck into the zone and finding Ben Kinne along the far boards. Kinne threaded a pass through traffic hitting George streaking down the slot. After his first shot was kicked to the left by Cook, George corralled the loose puck and put it past the goalie’s blocker for his team-leading third game-winning goal of the season. Bakala finished the game stonewalling the Mavericks during the final 10 minutes, which included a pair of game-saving, one-on-one breakaway stops versus Lehrke with just over four minutes to play. Bakala finished the night stopping 39 of 40 MSU shots on goal to collect the win and improve to 6-7-1 overall. In addition he was the last line of defense for a penalty-kill unit that held MSU scoreless on three power-play opportuni-ties (3-for-3). The BSU power-play unit got just one chance and registered three shots on goal, but was unable to convert (0-for-1). Cook made 24 stops, but was tagged with the loss after allowing two BSU goals. He falls to 3-5-0. BSU now holds a 46-36-13 advantage over Minnesota State in the all-time series and are 30-13-5 when hosting the Mavericks. However, MSU has won seven of the last nine meetings between the teams.

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- Minnesota State University, Mankato got two goals an assist from Michael Dorr and goaltender Phil Cook recorded 29 saves en route to a 5-2 Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) victory over Bemidji State University Saturday at Sanford Center. The victory allowed the Mavericks to salvage the series split and improve to 9-18-1 overall and 5-14-1 in league play, while the Beavers fall back to .500 at 12-12-2 overall and 6-10-2 in the WCHA. BSU clings to a three-point lead over MSU for 10th place in the association standings. The teams matched each other blow-for-blow during a scoreless first period. Each squad took one penalty, failed to score on its only power-play opportunity of the period and in 20 minutes of play, each team logged nine shots on goal. After an uneventful first, the second period packed a punch. The teams combined for five goals and 23 shots before MSU skated to into the second intermission with a 3-2 lead. Eriah Hays got the Mavericks on the board at the 1:50 mark capping a rush beating the BSU goalie stick side or his 10th goal of the season. BSU responded just over seven minutes later (8:55) with its first short-handed goal since sam Rendle scored down a man in the Beavers’ season-opener, Oct. 7, at Miami University. Jake Areshenko got the play started with an outlet pass to Ben Kinne from the top of the BSU crease. Kinne found the tape of David Bohem at center ice before the junior turned on the speed to beat MSU down the ice and net his second goal as a Beaver. Following Dorr’s first point of the night and the eventual game-winner from Zach Lehrke put MSU up 3-1, Bemidji State battled back to cut the deficit to one goal, 2-1 on a Radoslav Illo rebound goal at the 16:21 mark. Bohem was credited with an assist on the scoring play, marking his first multi-point game at BSU. Trailing 3-2 to open the final 20 minutes of play, the Beavers were on the brink of climbing back into the game on multiple occasions, but when Dorr net-ted his second goal of the evening at the 17:38 mark of the third, the Mavericks tightened their grip on the contest. Minnesota State’s Mike Louwerse would add a power-play, empty-net goal with 1:09 left on the clock to solidify the victory for the Mavericks. The MSU power-play goal stood as the only man advantage tally of the game. The Mavericks finished the night 1-for-4, while BSU was held scoreless on all five of its power-play chances. Cook collected the victory stopping 29-of-31 BSU shots on goal in 60 minutes between the pipes. He climbs to 4-5-0 on the season. Andrew Walsh, who was inserted into Saturday’s line up due to an injury to senior Dan Bakala, was tagged with the loss surrendering four Maverick markers in 59:27. He was credited with 20 saves. He is 6-4-1 on the season. BSU continues to hold a 46-37-13 advantage over Minnesota State in the all-time series and are 30-14-5 when hosting the Mavericks.

OMAHA, Neb. (CenturyLink Center) -- Bemidji State University goaltender Dan Bakala turned a side 37 University of Nebraska-Omaha shots and held the Mavericks without a goal for 56:20, but a goal by Bryce Aneloski late in the third period forced overtime. Scoreless in overtime, the teams settled for a 1-1 tie at CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Neb. In typical Beaver hockey fashion, Bemidji State lead heavily on defense and penalty-kill play. Bakala, who was back in net tonight after sitting out to injury Jan. 28, made saves on 37 of 38 shots faced and came up with game-saving stops on several occasions. In addition he backstopped a Bemidji State penalty-kill unit that held the Mavericks scoreless on six power-play opportunities and climb to second in the WCHA in penalty-killing efficiencies and .852 (69-of-81). Penalties littered the first period setting Nebraska-Omaha up with three power-play opportunities, which included 1:23 of 5-on-3 play, and the Beavers with two chances on the man advantage. With little offensive pressure during the final eight minutes of the period, Bakala kept the Beavers in the game making two point-blank stops and total-ing 10 saves during the first 20 minutes. The Beavers and Mavericks skated into the first intermission locked in a 0-0 tie. Bemidji State opened the second period with a spark gaining an 1-0 edge just 54 seconds into the period. Radoslav Illo’s buried a wrist shot, his seventh of the season, through traffic beating the UNO goaltender Ryan Massa high glove side. Shea Walters and Brad Hunt were credited with assists on the play. The helper gave Hunt a team-best 14 on the season, while it put an end to the longest scoring drought of the senior’s career at seven games. The Beavers would hold the one-goal lead through the second period and deep into the third. UNO, which out shot BSU 38-28 in the game and 12-9 in the third period, ramped up its offensive pressure in the third and began to swing momentum in its favor. Bakala held the Mavericks scoreless into the final four minutes of the game, but Nebraska-Omaha broke through to knot the score at 1-1 with 3:40 to play. Bryce Aneloski took passes from Jaycob Megna and Brent Gwidt and fired a shot that trickled across the goalline. The late UNO goal pushed the game to overtime. The teams each registered two shots on goal in overtime, but it was BSU that generated the best scoring opportunities in the sudden death period. With 3:18 left, the Beavers cycled the puck to Jake Areshenko on the point. The junior unloaded a slap shot that rang off the post and caromed toward David Boehm on the doorstep, but Massa covered the puck to end BSU’s best chance. UNO’s Massa moved 5-3-2 on the season after allowing one goal and making 27 saves. Bakala’s 37-save performance marked the seventh time in 11 appearanc-es versus Nebraska-Omaha, the goaltender has totaled more than 30 saves. He is now 6-2-3 all-time versus UNO and 6-7-2 in 2012. BSU was flawless on the penalty-kill, but struggled to get its power-play unit going. The Beavers failed to score on its three man advantage opportuni-ties (0-for-3). The stalemate leaves the all-time BSU/UNO series tied 6-6-3, while Bemi-dji State is 5-1-2 in the last eight meetings between the teams. BSU is now 4-5-2 all-time in Omaha, Neb., but is unbeaten last four trips to CenturyLink Center (3-0-1).

OMAHA, Neb. (CenturyLink Center) -- Jordan George posted a goal and two assists, while Ben Kinne and Shea Walters added a goal and an assist to help the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team outlast University of Nebraska-Omaha, gain a 6-4 victory and three points in the WCHA series at CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Neb. The Beavers were first to light the lamp and would never relinquish the lead, leaning heavily on special teams play and goaltending before matching a season-high offensive effort with six goals. George opened the 10-goal night placing a wrist shot just under the cross-bar for his team-leading 14th goal of the season. Linemates Kinne and aaron Mcleod were credited with assists on the play. Seven minutes and 15 seconds later (13:48), UNO would tie the game, 1-1, on an even-strength goal from Jaycob Megna. With 5:15 left in the period, Darcy findlay forced a UNO turnover. Drew Fisher pushed the puck up ice to Orban who dove and batted his fifth tally of 2011-12 out of the air and into the net to put BSU up 2-1 at the end of the first. Bemidji State goaltender Dan Bakala and the Beavers’ penalty-kill unit were tested during the second period. Bemidji State was whistled for four minor penalties, with three coming in the span of 2:35, setting up a pair of 5-on-3 opportunities for UNO. Just as it has so often this season, the special teams unit stepped up when called upon. BSU successfully snuffed out the Mavericks’ first three power-play chances and at the 16:05 mark of the period, the Beavers, in a rare full-strength moment, took a two-goal lead on Sam Windle’s first collegiate goal. The goal would prove to be big. The Mavericks and Terry Broadhurst capi-talized on their fourth man advantage opportunity of the period to bring the score to 3-2 with just 20.5 second left. Aided by 4:35 of continuous power-play time and a total of 6:18 on the man advantage in the second, UNO out shot BSU 21-5 en rout to a 40-27 advantage on the night. Leading 3-2 to open the third period, BSU caught a break at the 4:03 mark when Brock Montpetit was whistled for a cross-check on Matt prapavessis. Just 48 seconds into the man advantage, Brad Hunt rung a shot from the point off the post and Walters buried the rebound to put BSU up 4-2. The power-play goal was the first for the Beavers since Dec. 14, ending a string of 11 man advantage opportunities without a goal. After a short-handed marker by Broadhurst at 8:06 of the third brought UNO to 4-3, Bemidji State answered with a nice passing play between Walters and George to set up Kinne’s ninth of the season in a virtually open net. With 9:27 left, the Mavericks caught a break of their own and again reeled the Beavers to within a goal, 5-4. A strange bounce off a seam in the boards centered the puck to Matt White who psted his 13th marker of the season. UNO head coach Dean Blais pulled his goaltender to get an extra attacker on the ice with 61 seconds left, but David Boehm picked up a loose puck to score an empty-net goal with 15 seconds on the clock. BSU’s penalty-kill, which opened the day 12th in the nation (.850) and sec-ond in the league (.852), finished killing 6-of-7 (.857) UNO power-play chances, while its power-play unit converted 2-of-7 (.286) chances. Bakala’s totaled 36 saves in the win, which included 20 in the second period alone. The Bemidji State victory gives the Beavers a 7-6-3 advantage in the se-ries, while BSU is 6-1-2 its last nine meetings with UNO.

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- The Bemidji State University men’s hock-ey team scored three third period goals to erase a one-goal deficit and hand No. 10 Colorado College a 4-2 loss Friday at Sanford Center. Brance Orban scored two goals to lead the Beavers, while tyler tosunian’s first collegiate goal 9:49 into the final frame put BSU ahead for good. Bemidji State improves to 14-12-3 overall and 8-10-3 in the WCHA, while Colorado College falls to 15-10-2 on the season and 12-8-1 in league play. In a period dominated by CC, it was Bemidji State that took a 1-0 lead to the locker room. aaron Mcleod got BSU on the scoreboard when he picked up a loose puck in the high slot, skated in from the left face off circle and slid a backhand shot on net that trickled between the pads of the Colorado College goaltender Joe Howe. The goal was unassisted and counted as McLeod’s seventh of the season. With a one-goal lead, the Beavers opened the second period one man short. Brady Wacker started the period in the box for a penalty that lingered 53 seconds into the second frame. The penalty would come back to haunt the Beavers. CC tied the game on a Rylan Schwartz odd-angle, power-play goal from the goalline extend at the 1:02 mark. Brother Jaden Schwartz and Gabe Guentzel were credited with assists on the play. Special teams play gave Colorado College its first lead of the game at the 13:26 mark. Guentzel was escorted to the penalty box supplying BSU with its first power-play opportunity of the evening, but it was the Tigers’ penalty-kill unit that came up with a play to break the tie. Aaron Harstad picked off a BSU pass along the boards and found Tim Hall streaking up the middle of the ice. Hall settled the head-high pass with his hand and snipped a shot of the cross bar in into the goal. Trailing 2-1 top open the third period, victory seemed to be slipping away from the Beavers. Entering the series, Bemidji State had been out scored 32-19 in the third, but tonight the team lit the lamp during the final 20 minutes of play to earn its 14th victory of the season. Orban sparked the BSU comeback evening the score at 2-2, just 1:53 into the third period. Shea Walters started the play corralling a loose puck at the top of BSU’s offensive zone. He skated the puck down the slot, but when we was unable to get a shot off and was funneled to the right of the net, he turned and centered the puck to Orban, who located the left corner high stick side. Tosunian’s game-wining one-timer from the top of the right face off circle came at the 10:11 mark. Brad Hunt skated around the back of the net before locating the freshman with a pass. Jamie MacQueen was also credited with an assist on the play after batting the puck out of the air to Hunt. BSU used an empty-net goal by Orban, is second goal of the night, with 30 seconds to play to solidify the victory, 4-2. Dan Bakala improved to 8-7-2 on the season turning aside 29 CC shots, which included 15 in the first period alone.

The Beavers finished the game 0-for-1 on the power-play, while CC was 1-for-2 on the man advantage. Following the victory Bemidji State the all-time series remains in favor of the Tigers 5-3-1, however, BSU has never lost when hosting CC (2-0-1).

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- Jordan George and aaron Mcleod each netted two points and Dan Bakala turned aside 23 shots as the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team defeated No. 10 Colorado College 4-1 to complete a WCHA series sweep at Sanford Center Saturday. Fueled by a dominant second period, Bemidji State erased a one-goal deficit, gained the lead and would not look back posting its third consecutive victory, while collecting its second league sweep of 2011-12. Opening the second period trailing the visiting Tigers 1-0, the Beavers out shot CC 18-3 in the frame, scoring two goals. Shea Walters’ eventual game-winner came on the power-play at the 11:22 mark and stood as the only special teams goal of the game. BSU finished 1-for-3 on the man advantage while holding the potent Tiger’s power-play scoreless on two opportunities. The Tigers scored first and took a 1-0 lead into the lock room at the first intermission getting a goal from Andrew Hamburg with just 48 seconds left in the period. CC peppered Bakala with 13 shots in the first. The BSU goaltender turned 12 aside, but with less than one minute left in the period, the Tigers got shots from Jaden Schwartz and Gabe Guentzel, both resulted in rebounds with Ham-burg collecting a rebound and potted his first goal of the season. The Beavers responded by leveling the score just 28 seconds into the second period. George took a pass from the corner of the stick of Walters and settled the puck in the slot before potting his team-leading 15th tally of the season. Ignited by the goal, the Beavers dominated the period and would take their first lead of the game at the 11:22 mark. The Tigers’ Tim Hall was escorted to the penalty-box for tripping at the 10:19 mark supplying the Beavers with their second man advantage opportu-nity of the evening. BSU needed just 63 seconds to capitalize. A Ben Kinne shot was deflected in front of the net and settled behind the CC goaltender Joe Howe on the left post. Walters was in the right place at the right time and poked the puck into the goal to light the lamp for the 10th time this season. Brad Hunt was also credited with an assist on the scoring play extending his assist streak to four games while he tied Chris Morque (1990-94) for second on BSU’s all-time defensemen scoring list with 107 points (23g-84a). The Beavers started the third period very much it opened the second, this time extending its lead to 3-1 just 21 second in on McLeod’s eighth goal of the season. Kinne found McLeod streaking down the slot with a centering pass and McLeod tapped the puck past Howe. Danny Mattson was credited with a hard work goal 11:36 into the third to settle the score at 4-1. Bakala improved to 9-7-2 backstopping the Beavers to their 15th win of the season. Howe saw his record dip to 5-7-1 after surrendering all four BSU goals while posting 26 stops. Including the victory Bemidji State cut the Tigers’ lead in the all-time series to 5-4-1 and maintained an unblemished record when hosting CC at Sanford Center (3-0-1).

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (Mariucci Arena) -- Zach Budish scored a pair of first period goals and the No. 7 University of Minnesota held Bemidji State Uni-versity to a season-low 13 shots on goal as the Golden Gophers cruised to a 3-0 Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) victory Friday at Mariucci Arena. Posting 13 saves, Minnesota goaltender Kent Patterson logged his sev-enth blank sheet of the year holding BSU without a single goal for the first time since Oct. 29--a streak spanning 22 games--and shut out the Beavers for just the second time in 2011-12. The Golden Gophers were quick out of the gate and sustained pressure for the entire first period. Minnesota out shot BSU 14-2 in the period, holding the Beavers without a shot on goal until the 12:35 mark. Budish put Minnesota up 1-0 just 60 seconds after the opening face off. Positioned at the top of the crease, he tipped a Mark Alt shot from the top of the right face off circle through traffic passed BSU goaltender Dan Bakala. Budish would extend Minnesota’s lead to 2-0 at the 9:13 mark of the first. Bakala kicked a Nick Bjugstad shot to the top of the crease and Budish was in the right place at the right time and buried the rebound for his 10th goal of the season. Ben Marshall was also credited with an assist on the play. Bemidji State settled into the second period with a pair of quality scoring chances in the opening minutes of the frame, but with aaron Mcleod in the penalty box, the Gophers would capitalize on their second power-play oppor-tunity of the evening to stymie any momentum the Beavers were building. Minnesota’s third goal came of the stick of its leading scorer Bjugstad. After a pair of nifty passes from Kyle Rau and Erik Haula, Bjugstad lifted a shot high stick side and out of position, Bakala was not able to recover. It was Bjugstad’s 22nd goal of 2011-12. That was all Patterson would need as the senior turned aside BSU’s four third-period shots to complete the shutout. Bakala returned the favor at the other end of the ice piling up nine saves during the final 20 minutes of play to finish the game with 33 saves, but sur-rendered all three Minnesota goals in the loss to dip to 9-8-2 on the season. With the only power-play goal of the game, Minnesota finished 1-for-4 (.250) on the man advantage, while for the second time this season, the Bea-vers were held without a power-play opportunity. Minnesota continues to hold a 9-1-1 lead in the series between the team that got its start in 2000 and is unbeaten the last three times the team’s have met (2-0-1).

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (Mariucci Arena) -- On a night when Brad Hunt of-ficially etched his name as one of the greatest players in Bemidji State Uni-versity men’s ice hockey history, Erik Haula spoiled the celebration, scoring twice to lead No. 7 University of Minnesota to a 4-1 victory over the Beavers at Mariucci Arena. Hunt’s first-period goal was his 108th point (24g-84a) in a green and white sweater giving him more points than any other blueliner in the 56-year history of the program. “It’s a pretty cool accomplishment,” said Hunt after the game. “Obviously it would have been a lot more meaningful if we would have got the win, but I am proud of myself, I know my mom and dad are really proud too and those guys in that room are proud.” Minnesota took a 1-0 lead just 1:17 into the game on a Erik Haula wrist shot over the stick hand of BSU goaltender Dan Bakala. Jake Hansen got the play started collecting a BSU turnover on the blue line before feeding Haula with a pass. It was the Gophers’ first shot of the evening. BSU knotted the score at 1-1 before time ran out in the period. Hunt net-ted his fifth goal of the season at the 17:14 mark of the first. With Nick Bjugstad in the penalty box, Hunt and the Beavers’ capitalized on their first power-play opportunity of the night. The record-breaking goal came in typical Hunt fashion. The senior took a pass from Matt prapavessis skated to the point and unleashed a rocket that Minnesota goaltender Kent Patterson had no chance to catch up to, beating him high stick side. Jordan George was alo credited with an assist on the play. The goal, not only solidifies Hunt as BSU’s top-scoring defenseman of all time, it also stands as his 16th career power-play goal vaulting him past Clay Simmons (1999-2002) for the top spot on BSU’s Division I-era power-play goals by defensemen list. Tied 1-1 to open the second, a Hansen wrister from right face off circle put the Gophers back in front just 2:05 into the frame. Although the Beavers dictated play for the next several minutes Minnesota built a 3-1 lead with help from its power-play unit. With BSU’s Jeff Jubinville in the box, Minnesota won the ensuing face of and Haula would light the lamp for the second time of the night on a one-timer from Kyle Rau and Nate Schmidt at the 7:07 mark of the period. Unable to capitalize on any of its scoring chances in the third period, still trailing 3-1, the Beavers elected to pull their goaltender to get an extra attacker on the ice with 1:55 to play. The Gophers secured the victory an the series sweep 22 seconds later on a Seth Ambroz empty-net goal. Each team finished the game with a power-play goal. Minnesota was 1-for-2 (.500) on the man advantage, while BSU converted 1-of-3 (.333) chanc-es. Bakala was solid in net again. Despite taking the loss, he piled up 28 saves in 59:41 of play, but allowed three of the Gophers four goals to dip to 9-9-2 on the season. Patterson posted his 21st victory of the season on the other end of the ice turning aside 21 of BSU’s 22 shots on goal.

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- The University of Wisconsin erased an early deficit using three goals in the second period to hand the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team a 4-2 loss in WCHA action at Sanford Center. Entering the game just 1-8-1 on the road this season, the Badgers clawed their way out of a road funk in their first ever visit to Bemidji, Minn. getting two points from Michael Mersch, Mark Zengerle and Jon Ramage in the victory. Despite a valiant effort from an inspired BSU team in the third period, a comeback attempt would fall short as the Beavers’ record dipped to .500, at 15-15-3, for the first time since Feb. 3 when the team was 12-12-3 overall. Bemidji State was first to light the scoreboard. Shea Walters won an of-fensive zone face off to defenseman Jake Areshenko at the top of the left circle. The junior unleashed a slap shot that beat Badger goaltender Landon Peterson high glove side to put BSU up 1-0 at the 17:10 mark of the period. A bit sluggish out of the gate, Areshenko’s lamplighter was all the Beavers had to show for a first period during which they had three power-play opportu-nities and out shot UW 11-7. Trailing by a goal to open the second period, Wisconsin kicked the pedal to the floor and dominated play during stanza. At the 3:57 mark, a goal by Frankie Simonelli tied the game 1-1. John Ramage got the play started by digging the puck out of scrum in the corner and flipping it to Joseph LaBate. LaBate slid the puck across the top of the slot to Simonelli who let a shot fly though traffic. Wisconsin took its first lead of the game, 2-1, at the 6:08 mark of the second when a Justin Schultz shot from the left face off circle caromed off the back wall and banked into the net off the back of Dan Bakala’s right skate. Michael Mersch was credited with an assist on the play. Mersch would give the Badgers a two-goal lead heading into the locker room for the second intermission scoring his 11th goal of the season assisted by Tyler Barnes and Zengerle with just 13 seconds left in the period. Wisconsin finished the period out shooting BSU 13-8. The Beavers opened the third with desperation. Just 1:40 into the frame Jamie MacQueen ignited a Bemidji State rally pulling the Beavers to within a goal, 3-2. Teammate Ben Kinne put the puck on the right post and when MacQueen circled around the back side of the net, he poked it over the goal line for the third tally of his senior campaign. At the 8:06 mark, MacQueen again found himself on the doorstep poking the puck across the line for what looked to be the game-tying goal, but the celebration was short-lived as the referee immediately waved the goal off stat-ing an intent to blow the whistle after Peterson’s glove covered the puck. The disallowed goal snuffed out the BSU rally and the Badgers would solidify the win when Rampage backhanded the puck the length of the ice for an empty-net goal with 32 seconds left on the clock. The power-play was a non factor in the for both teams. The teams com-bined for seven power-play opportunities, but would fail to find the back of the net as BSU finished the game 0-for-5 and Wisconsin came up dry on both of its man advantage chances (0-for-2). Peterson improved to 5-6-0 on the season turning aside 28 BSU shots and allowing two goals in 60 minutes of work between the pipes. Bakala posted 22 saves, but was pegged with loss after surrendering three Badger goals in 59:24. He falls to 9-10-2 on the season. The win extends Wisconsin’s lead in the series to 4-0-0. Wisconsin re-mains the only current WCHA member team that BSU has not defeated.

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Sanford Center) -- The University Wisconsin scored three unanswered goals during the final 21:30 of play Saturday at Sanford Center handing the Bemidji State University men’s ice Hockey team a 4-2 loss to complete the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) series sweep. Deadlocked at 2-2 with time running low on a five-minute major penalty to Jake Areshenko, the Badgers’ top-scoring defenseman Justin Schultz fired a wrist shot though traffic from the point that found the back of the and swung the game in Wisconsin’s favor. UW would add a empty-net goal from Michael Mersch with 60 seconds to play to settle the score at 4-2. Specials teams played a significant role in the game. Both of BSU goals came on the man advantage (2-for-4), while Wisconsin’s decisive tally came in the midst of a third period during which BSU’s penalty-kill unit spent 7:47 on the ice. The Badgers finished the night 1-for-6 on the power-play. For the second consecutive evening, the Beavers took an early lead. Ben Kinne got BSU on the board at the 10:30 mark of the first period matching a career-high scoring his 10th goal of the season. Two minutes and 39 seconds into a major penalty, Brad Hunt found Shea Walters in the slot. Walters fired a shot on goal that was kicked to the right by Wisconsin goalten-der Joel Rumple. Kinne was on the doorstep and deposited the rebound into the back of the net. Trailing 1-0 after the first period, the Badgers out shot the Beavers 16-9 in the second netting a pair of goals in the period to enter the third with the score knotted 2-2. Brad Navin erased the BSU lead 2:48 into the second frame. After Jordan George put the Beavers back in front with his team-leading 16th goal of the season on a power-play marker from Hunt and Walters at the 7:39 mark, Sean Little posted his first tally of 2011-12 with just 90 second left in the stanza to even the score. With 44 seconds remaining in the period, Areshenko was whistled for checking from behind and given an early exit, The major penalty would linger into the third period and come back to haunt the Beavers. Bemidji State’s league-leading penalty-kill unit was on point all night snuff-ing out six of seven UW power-play opportunities, which included the first 4:31 of the five-minute major, but with 29 seconds the Schultz shot founds its way though traffic to put the Badgers in the lead for good. BSU goaltender Dan Bakala finished the night with 31 saves, which in-cluded 14 in the second period alone, but was tagged with the loss after sur-rendering three Badgers goals in 59:46 of action. He falls to 9-11-2 on the season. Rumple earned the victory making 21 saves. He improves to 10-9-2. The Beavers remain winless versus the Badgers in five games played (0-5-0).

Bemidji State’s lead would grow to two goals, 2-0, at the 13:57 mark of the period. George’s career-high 18th goal of the season came with help from McLeod and Brance Orban. The goal would stand as the eventual game-winner. George now paces all BSU players with our game-winning goals. Before the first period came to an end, the Seawolves would get on the scoreboard. With 3:55 left in the frame, Andrew Pickering netted his first goal of the season sending the teams into the intermission separated by just a goal. The score would stay locked at 2-1 through the second period, despite UAA supplying BSU with three power-play opportunities in the period, and deep into the third. The Seawolves would pull goaltender Chris Kamal for the final 1:13 in an attempt to get an extra attacker on the ice, but Bakala would stand tall for BSU and stymie the UAA charge to gain his 10th victory in net (10-11-2). BSU would finish the night 0-for-3 on the man advantage, while for the first time all season, BSU was not whistled for a single penalty leaving its penalty-kill unit untested. The victory gives the Beavers a 2-1-0 lead in the all-time series and gar-ners BSU its first win in the state of Alaska (1-0-0). With the WCHA postseason beginning to solidify, the top four teams have clinched home series in the first round. University of Minnesota assured itself at least a share of the WCHA regular-season championship and the tourna-ment’s No. 1 seed, while University of Minnesota Duluth took the No. 2 seed, University of Denver occupies the No. 3 spot and University of North Dakota the No. 4 seed. If the Beavers win the season finale, and Minnesota defeats University of Wisconsin, BSU will finished ninth and head to Grand Forks, N.D. All other outcomes will place BSU 10th send the Beavers to Denver, Colo. for the best-of-three opening round March 9-11.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Sullivan Arena) -- Brance Orban netted a pair of goals and an assist, while Shea Walters added two goals to lead the Bemidji State University men’s ice hockey team to a 5-4 victory over University of Alaska-Anchorage Saturday at Sullivan Arena. The victory not only solidified the Beavers’ first road sweep of the season, it also pushed BSU past University of Wisconsin to claim ninth place in the final Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) standings at 17-16-3 overall and 11-14-3 in league play. As the No. 9 seed, the Beavers will travel to fourth-seeded University of North Dakota for a best-of-three opening round of the WCHA playoffs March 9-11. The opening game is slated for a 7:37 p.m. face off at Ralph Engelstad Arena Friday, while Saturday and, if needed Sunday, contests are each set to begin at 7:07 p.m. A match up of the WCHA’s two lowest scoring teams far exceeded its billing. A total of nine goals were scored in the series finale, including five in the second period alone. But it was the Beavers, who entered the final game of the regular season averaging 2.48 goals per game, that netted five goals to gain the victory, 5-4. Twenty-four hours after holding UAA to one goal on just 15 shots on net, the Beavers found themselves down 2-1 at the end of the first period allowing the Seawolves a pair of goals on their first three shots. The Seawolves got on the board just 4:22 into the game, on a Jordan Kwas goal and after the Beavers’ Walters answered to tie the game 1-1 at the 7:18 mark, Sam Mellor took a backdoor pass from Curtis Leinweber and Matt Bailey to send Alaska-Anchorage to the first intermission owning a 2-1 lead. The seesaw contest continued in the second period. BSU and UAA would combine for 27 shots on goal and five goals scored in one of the wildest peri-ods of BSU’s season. The Beavers came out with more jump in the second, but Jade Portwood and UAA bit just 37 seconds into the period to take their largest lead of the night at 3-1. BSU caught a break at the 4:03 mark of the frame when Brad Gorham was whistled for interference. It took the Beavers’ power-play unit just 36 seconds to convert. After Walters won an offensive zone face off, Ben Kinne fired a shot on goal that was turned aside by UAA senior goaltender Dusan Sidor, but the determined unit would not quit and Walters found the back of the net on a sec-ond or third try from the front of the crease for his second goal of the evening. Just under six minutes later (10:19) the Beavers struck again, this time on a blast from the point off the stick of freshman blueliner Matt prapavessis. The rookie’s first collegiate goal evened the score at 3-3. After the Seawolves had the go ahead goal waived off a the 12:33 mark, a Corbin Karl tally put UAA ahead, 4-3, at the 13:29 mark of the second. Before time would expire on the frame (15:39), Orban netted his first goal of the night. The power-play goal sent the teams into the final 20 minutes of play with the score deadlocked at 4-4. The teams settled down in the third period totalling just 11 shots on goal. At the 2:56 mark of the frame, Orban connected on his ninth goal of the sea-son. The goal put BSU up 5-4 and the Beavers would answer the call late as UAA pulled Sidor for an extra attacker with 2:09 left. In addition, Orban was whistled for tripping and sent to the box supplying the Seawolves with a 46 second 6-on-4 opportunity. The victory gives the Beavers a 3-1-0 lead in the all-time series.
