Mavericks 5, Bulldogs 1

Freddy's three thoughts (from afar) ...

Charlie Gerard scored two goals, and Lucas Sowder and Parker Tuomie had three points each as the Minnesota State men’s hockey team defeated Ferris State 5-1 on Saturday for a WCHA series sweep.

The third-ranked Mavericks won their 20th game of the season for the eighth year in a row since Mike Hastings became coach. It was the earliest Minnesota State has reached the 20-win plateau.

Sowder had a goal and two assists, and Tuomie had three assists. Jack McNeely and Reggie Lutz also scored goals, and Marc Michaelis and had two assists.

Michaelis, who had two goals in that game and finished the weekend with four points.

The Mavericks finished 3 for 7 on the power play, and Dryden McKay made 25 saves.

Minnesota State has won five games in a row and 15 of its last 17 games.

The Mavericks (20-3-1, 14-2-0 in WCHA) will play again next Friday and Saturday at Bowling Green.
