DULUTH, Minn. - Freshman Kevin
Genoe made 48 saves on 50 shots to lead Michigan Tech to a 3-2
victory over No. 18 Minn.-Duluth in WCHA play Friday (Nov. 13). His
48 saves were the most by a Tech goalie since Josh
Robinson made 49 saves in a 6-5 overtime win against Minnesota
on March 6, 2009.
The Huskies first goal came after freshman Steven Seigo made a spin
move around a Bulldog defender and then sent a pass over to
sophomore Brett Olson. Olson then
found senior Malcolm Gwilliam who scored
his team-leading sixth goal of the season at 12:24 of the first
period.
UMD answered with it's first of two power play goals at 5:07 of the
second period. Sophomore Jack Connolly was credited with the goal
off assists from sophomore Mike Connolly and sophomores Brady
Lamb.
The Bulldogs followed up with its second power play goal of the
evening by freshman Mike Seidel at 4:31 of the third period.
But the Huskies answered right back thanks to freshman Steven
Seigo's first career goal 34 seconds later. The Edenwold,
Sask., native currently leads all freshman defenseman in the WCHA
in points with eight (one goal, seven assists).
Sophomore Seth Soley and senior Ryan
Bunger used some sharp passing in front of the UMD net to
set-up senior Eli Vlaisavljevich for the
easy tap in. The goal at 14:07 was the third goal of his career and
second in his last three games. Soley's assist was the first point
of his career.
Tech (3-6-0, 2-5-0) finished one-for-four on the powerplay and
Duluth (6-4-1, 3-3-1) was two-for-four.
Sophomore Kenny Reiter (2-2-0) finished with 16 saves on 19 shots
in the Bulldog loss.
Tech will look to complete the sweep of Duluth Saturday (Nov.
14).
