MSU recruits win USHL title

The Chicago Steel won the USHL Clark Cup as the legaue's tournament champions on Tuesday night, defeating the Sioux City Musketeers 2-1 in overtime of the decisive fifth game.

The Steel had three future Minnesota State players on the roster, including two who are coming to Mankato next fall: Jake Jaremko, Reggie Lutz and Wyatt Aamodt.

Jaremko and Lutz, forwards from Elk River, will be freshmen next season. Jaremko had 13 points (5-8) in the USHL playoffs, which ranked fourth. Lutz had 12 points, including 7 goals. Aamodt, a defenseman from Hermantown, was a scratch during the playoffs.

Sioux City goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks is also an Minnesota State recruit. The USHL player and goalie of the year finished the postseason with an 8-5 record (two OT losses), a .925 save percentage and a 2.08 goals-against average.
