MENOMONIE (December 13, 2016) - After some give and take between the two teams, Northland College rolled off three consecutive goals late in the second period and continued into the third on their way to a 6-5 win over UW-Stout Tuesday at the Fanetti Community Center.
The Blue Devils (6-7-0) had just broken a tie when
Dylan Zins (So, Prior Lake, Minn) scored with just less than three minutes remaining in the second period and Stout led 4-3.
But the Lumberjacks (5-6-1) responded quickly with a pair of power play goals, the first at 18:10 by Nicholas Trefry and the second at 19:11 by Michael Berens and Northland held a 5-4 lead over the Blue Devils. Northland came out of the locker room firing, taking a 6-4 lead only 33 seconds into the third on Michael Berens' power play goal.
The Blue Devils pulled to within one goal, 6-5, at 18:05 on a goal by
Riley Colvard (So, Centerville, Minn), then pulled their goalie but could not get the equalizer.
Etienne Roy (Jr, Saint-Henri, Quebec) took the loss, giving up all six goals before getting pulled after the final Northland goal. Roy was coming off a stellar performance the last time out, posting the Blue Devils first shutout of the season on Saturday over St. Olaf College.
But Roy gave up a pair of goals in the first period, allowing a goal by Jacob Jeske at 7:49 and a second at 8:54 by Lucas DeBenedet. The Blue Devils knotted the score before the first period horn sounded.
Mathias Ahman (So, Harnasand, Sweden) scored on the power play at 18:29 and
Joe Anderson (So, Side Lake, Minn) scored 19 seconds later. The Blue Devils took a 3-2 lead four minutes into the second period when
Alex Toscano (Fr, Duluth, Minn) scored on the power play.
Northland tied the game at 3-3 on a goal at 15:59 by Kyle Pouncy. Zins gave the Blue Devils the lead back at 17:24 before Northland went on their three goal roll.
Roy finished the night with 20 saves, working 40:33 minutes.
Tommi Ahlgren (Fr, Tampere, Finland) came on to make 12 saves in the third period. The Lumberjacks' AJ Smith recorded 33 saves. The win was the Lumberjacks' first over Stout in four tries.
Justin Moody recorded three assists for Stout and
Colton Brausen had two assists.
The Blue Devils are off until they resume action on the road at Hamline University, Friday, Jan. 6 and at Gustavus Adolphus, Saturday, Jan. 7. Stout returns home Saturday, Jan. 14 to play St. Mary's University.
