Sorry: Software problem kept me from posting on Sat or Sun Superior 4 0 1 5 Stevens Point 1 2 3 6 Defending national champion UW-Stevens Point weathered a storm by UW-Superior Friday night at home. For the first 10 minutes Point played poor defense, typically playing the puck instead of the man, giving Superior an easy time of it. By 10:31 of period one, we were down 4-0. Balderotta called a time out and must have said the right thing, because from then on we wen't back to good defense and shut the yellowjackets out until 19:13 of period 3. According to the paper the next day, Balderotta was trying an experiment in checking scheme that went sour. This was also a penalty marred game. Point had a total of 14 minors and one 10 minute misconduct, while Superior had 12. The game began with Point taking a high-sticking and a charging paired with a roughing by Superior at 0:19. The critical point of the game came at 7:59 in period 2 with Superior up 4-3. Point took an interference penalty on a delayed call. At the end, we also got a roughing call to put us 2 men down for 2 minutes. Despite the 5 on 3 advantage, Superior failed to get a single shot on goal! This fired up both the team and the fans.
