#6 St. Cloud State Sets New Record For Victories in Season
St. Cloud, Minn. -- The #6 St. Cloud State University men's hockey team
(24-8-1, 17-8-0 WCHA) set a new team record by gaining their 24th victory of
the season with a big 6-2 win at home over MSU, Mankato on Friday, Feb. 23.
The victory pushes SCSU's record to 24-8-1 overall and 17-8-0 in the always
rugged WCHA. MSU, Mankato falls to 18-14-1, 12-12-1 WCHA. SCSU previous
best for season wins was 23 in 1999-00 and 1996-97.
For SCSU, Jon Cullen put the Huskies up 1-0 with his 11th goal of the season
at 3:10 of the first before Mankato hit a pair of goals to end the first
period.
In the second period, junior defenseman Duvie Westcott charted an unassisted
tally at 1:35 to tie the game at 2-2. Westcott returned at 9:54 with a
power play goal in the second, which proved to be the game winner. SCSU
poured it on with Joe Motzko's power play tally at 15:21 of the second and
Mark Hartigan ended the period with a goal at 16:03.
In the final period, Nate DiCasmirro scored his sixth goal of the season
with a power play effort at 18:27. Senior Brandon Sampair hit his 30th
assist of the season on DiCasmirro's goal. Sampair becomes only the sixth
player in SCSU history to gain 30-or-more assists in a season. On the
subject of records, Hartigan's goal was his 22nd of the season and it places
him fifth in the SCSU records for most goals in a season.
In the nets, Scott Meyer was impressive with 31 saves as the Mavericks
outshot the Huskies 33-31. On the power play, SCSU shutout MSU 0-8 while
posting a 3-of-7 rate on its own power play chances. The two teams will
square off again on Feb. 24, at 8:05 p.m. in St. Cloud, Minn.
