MARQUETTE, Mich. - Freshman Josh Robinson made 20 saves to lead the Michigan Tech hockey team to a 1-0 win to complete the series sweep of Northern Michigan on Saturday (Dec. 20). The shutout was the first of Robinson's career and the first by a Michigan Tech goalie against Northern Michigan.

The last time Michigan Tech (4-14-2) swept Northern Michigan (3-12-3) was Nov. 4-5, 1994.

"We have some momentum going now that we are unbeaten in our last three games that we will be taking that with us down to the GLI," said head coach Jamie Russell. "Josh made some great saves last night and then he came in here and got the shutout. He represented the WCHA well not only tonight but during the whole weekend."

The Huskies capitalized on its third power play opportunity of the evening for its lone goal. Sophomore Bennett Royer flung a pass intended for senior Alex Gagne that was deflected to freshman Peter Rohn. He then put the puck past junior Brian Stewart at 8:17 of the middle period for his first career goal. Sophomore Deron Cousens also assisted on the goal.

Sophomore Jordan Baker, who entered the game on a three game point streak, had two shots on the empty net in the final minute of play but was unable to convert.

The Wildcats did push the Huskies to the limit while on the attack with the extra skater. NMU sent numerous shots on net with 10 seconds remaining but were unable to tie the game.

Stewart (2-9-1) made 11 saves and gave up the lone Tech goal.

Michigan Tech will continue non-conference play at the 44th annual Great Lakes Invitational. Tech will face Michigan on Saturday (Dec. 27) at 3:30 p.m.
