The Gustavus men's and women's hockey teams both won MIAC tournament championships Wednesday night at the Don Roberts Ice Rink in St. Peter.
The men won their first tournament title since 1993, defeating Hamline 5-2. They trailed 2-0 just 3:22 into the game but scored five unanswered goals, including two each by Ross Ring-Jarvi and Rory Dynan.
The women, who are ranked No. 1 in the nation, won their sixth championship in a row, topping St. Thomas 3-0, thanks to a 23-save performance by goaltender Daniell Justice. Gustavus has not allowed a goal in seven-plus games, a streak of 442 minutes, 40 seconds. Melissa Mackley scored two goals, including an empty-netter.
Both Gustavus teams earned the MIAC's automatic bid into the NCAA tournament. The brackets for those tournaments are expected to be unveiled on Sunday.
