MENOMONIE (November 22, 2008) - UW-Stout goalie Matt Koenig (Sr, Lakeland, Minn) turned away 37 shots on goal as the Blue Devils made two first period goals stand up in a 2-0 win over UW-Eau Claire Saturday at the Dunn County Ice Arena.
Koenig, who came on in relief the night before and did not allow a goal in 50-plus minutes of work, turned back 14 shots in the first period, 13 in the second and 10 in the third.
Stout (7-4-0, 2-2-0 NCHA) again lived in the penalty box, committing eight penalties, but the Blue Devils' penalty kill was flawless.
The Blue Devils' Derek Hanson (Jr, Bemidji, Minn) got Stout started with a goal eight minutes ino the game, with assists by Bobby Kuehl (Jr, St. Paul, Minn) and Scott Motz (Jr, Lake Elmo, Minn). Joel Gaulrapp (Jr, Owatonna, Minn) doubled the score with a goal with three minutes left in the first period on assists by Motz and Jack Wolgemuth (Sr, Anchorage, Alaska).
Eau Claire's (7-2-0, 2-2-0 NCHA) Tyler Brigl recorded 14 saves.
Stout is off until Friday, Dec. 5 when they host St. Norbert College at 7:30 p.m. Stout will host Lake Forest Saturday, Dec. 6 at 3 p.m.
