The Gustavus Adolphus men's hockey team saw its season end Saturday in the semifinals of the MIAC tournament. Hamline, the regular-season champion, defeated the Gusties 3-0, getting a 36-save shutout performance from goalie Beau Christian. It was the first time in more than three years that a conference opponent blanked Gustavus.
Gusties goalie Josh Swartout, playing in his final game after a 45-win career, allowed two goals (Hamline's last goal was an empty-netter) and stopped 36 shots, including 23 of 24 in the first period, less than 24 hours after he and Gustavus defeated Augsburg in double-overtime.
Hamline will play either St. Thomas or Concordia on Wednesday for the MIAC tournament championship.

The Gusties will be the No. 1 seed for the MIAC tournament which begins on Thursday. They will host the winner of Tuesday' 4-5 play-in game between Concordia and St.Olaf.
