UMD was coming off its first sweep of the year and had the league's hottest goal scorer in Justin Fontaine. With the Bulldogs on the road Friday night it looked like it was going to continue with Fontaine giving UMD the lead early in the first period on his seventh goal of the year. But Minnesota's all time leading high school scorer Ben Hanowski from Little Falls scored his first goal of his college career tying the game. When UMD jumped back to a 2-1 lead it was again Hanowski who tied the game with his second of the night. The Bulldogs would lead one more time on a goal from Brady Lamb in the second period. That lead was safe for 22 minutes until Hanowski's old high school teammate Jared Festler tied the game at 3-3 with 2:35 left in regulation. Fester assisted on Hanowski's goal. Hanowski was a 3rd round pick by the Penguins this past summer.
UMD's Brady Hjelle from International Falls continued strong play making 41 saves. Freshman Mike Lee from Roseau made 30 saves.
Junior Kyle Schmidt from Hermantown scored his first goal of the year for UMD and only third of his career Friday night. Nick Oslund assisted on all Three St. Cloud State goals. Oslund played high school for Burnvsille and was a 2006 draft pick of the Detroit Red Wings.
