Huskies 4, Mavericks 2 - final

The WCHA's leading scorer kept one hot streak going and ended another Friday night.

Garrett Roe scored two goals and assisted on another to lead St. Cloud State to a 4-2 win over No. 11 Minnesota State, Mankato.

Roe now has nine goals and 15 assists in 15 games.

“Their top guys were definitely their top guys tonight,” said MSU's Kael Mouillierat, who scored twice after his team’s last five games with an injury. “Roe and Lasch were beating us tonight down low. We’re going to have to change that tomorrow if we want to turn it around.”

Jordy Christian and Aaron Marvin also scored goals for St. Cloud (9-6-0, 4-5-0 in WCHA). Ryan Lasch had two assists.

The win snapped Mankato's four-game unbeaten streak. It was also the Huskies' first win over the Mavericks in six games.

Minnesota State (8-4-3, 5-4-2) led 1-0 after the first period, but St. Cloud scored three times in the second period with Roe having a hand in all of the goals. Christian's goal with 26.1 seconds remaining in the second stood as the game-winner. Christian also had an assist.

Huskies goalie Jace Weslosky made 24 saves in the win. MSU's Mike Zacharias stopped 28 shots.
