Sweeping changes

Mike Louwerse, Andy Sackrison, Jason Wiley and Nick Canzanello are out. Joe Schiller, Justin Jokinen, Tyler Thompson and Baylor Dieter are in. The Mavericks coaching staff made about as many lineup changes as possible for tonight's game after Friday's less-than-enthusiastic effort. Mike Zacharias will start in goal.

With Ben Youds still out with an injury, Dieter, a freshman defenseman from Bloomington, is making his collegiate debut. He wears No. 8. The Mavericks will have six true freshmen in the lineup, including Jokinen, Schiller, Thompson and Adam Mueller up front and Dieter and Cameron Cooper on D.

Here are tonight's lines:

MINNESOTA STATE
Irwin-Mouillierat-Jokinen
Galiardi-Bruess-Stewart
Gaulrapp-Harrison-Berge
