Men's hockey takes tough loss on the road at Saint Mary's

St. Olaf traveled to Winona, Minn. for their second conference game against Saint Mary's. The Cardinals came out flying and never gave up an early lead, and held on for a 6-1 win.

Saint Marys scored early goal in the first period. The Oles continued to play hard though, and went to their locker room only down 1-0.

Saint Marys sustained their play in the second period by extending their lead to 3-0 going into the third. The Oles continued to make shots on goal, but were unable to get on the board going into the final break.

Saint Marys scored the first three goals in the third period to increase their lead to 6-0. The Oles would get on the board, though with a great power play goal from John Egge (Fy., Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.). Saint Marys proved how hard it is to sweep a MIAC series and how hard it is to win on the road.

Garret Hasti had 23 saves on 29 shots in a tough game on the road. With that loss the Oles went to 1-1 in the MIAC conference and 2-6-1 overall. The Oles are off for the Christmas break, before they return for their next game against Lawrence University which takes place on Friday, January 9th.
