Nebraska-Omaha at #9 MSU IN GAME

No scoring in the period, but each team had flashes of dominance. MSU probably had better scoring chances, but as far as possession is concerned it was fairly close. The only penalty in the period was taken by UNO. Geoff Irwin and Mick Berge each hit the post, solidly I might add, in the period.

1st Period Scoring Summary
No Scoring

MSU managed to get a huge goal from Joel Hanson with five seconds remaining to cut the lead to one heading into the locker room. UNO got two power-play goals on their five minute power play when MSU's Trevor Bruess was given the major for kneeing. Nebraska-Omaha had the majority of the scoring chances in the period with Zacharias standing on his head to make some marvelous saves to keep MSU in the game. Minnesota State will have to play much better in the third period to avoid the upset here tonight.

2nd Period Scoring Summary
2:11 - Ambroz (Goulet, Martin) PPG 1-0 UNO
4:07 - Goulet (Koehler) PPG 2-0 UNO
19:54 - Hanson (Irwin, Sackrison) PPG 2-1 UNO

The late goal from Hanson did not give MSU any life as they went on to lose the game 4-2. UNO played as if they were the team with something to lose. This is a tough one for the Mavericks as the disappointing effort tonight makes things harder for them in the Pairwise rankings as the season winds down. MSU travels to Colorado College this weekend to take on the league-leading Tigers. They will surely need to play much better.

3rd Period Scoring Summary
9:24 - Lawrence (Fanto, Von Bokern) 3-1 UNO
18:37 - Berge (Davis, Kalinski) 3-2 UNO
19:49 - Koehler (unassisted) EN 4-2 UNO
