MSU 4, UNO 3 final

The streak is snapped. ... More later.
***
Defenseman Channing Boe scored his first career goal at 6:50 put MSU up 3-2.
***
Omaha came back in the second with a power-play goal by New Prague's Matt Ambroz at 3:47 and an even-strength goal by Jeric Agosta at 10:12. Shots were 11-9 in favor of UNO.

Let's see if MSU can get to three goals, something it hasn't done since Thanksgiving weekend.
***
The two quick goals were not a team record. In 1973-74, MSU scored two goals in seven seconds against St. Olaf. In 2006, the Mavericks scored two goals eight seconds apart in a home game against Wisconsin.

***
MSU started the game like a team ready to break out of a losing streak. The Mavericks outshot UNO 7-3 and scored a pair of goals just nine seconds apart to take a 2-0 lead. Trevor Bruess and Kael Mouillierat had the goals.

MSU will begin the second period on the power play with 1:55 seconds left on the only penalty of the first period.

By the way, the crowd is small but not too bad, all things considered.

I'll be curious to see what tonight's crowd is like. No students. An ice storm outside. It's an hour before gametime and pretty quiet in the Alltel Center right now.
