Box Score DULUTH, Minn. (csssaints.com) – The St. Scholastica men's hockey team never trailed in a 4-2 nonconference victory over Augsburg College on Friday night at Mars Lakeview Arena.

Just over two minutes later, Alex Valenti (Blaine, Wash./Bellingham HS (Merritt-BCHL) ) skated in on the right side of the goal and hit the back of the net to make it 2-0 Saints. Miller and Corcoran earned the assists. The Auggies (3-9-1) got one back with eight minutes to go when Ben McClellan scored on breakaway, short-handed, to make it 2-1 at the first intermission.

The second period did not see much even-strength action as both teams combined for eight penalties. Augsburg would tie it up on the power-play midway through the period when Lucas Hendrickson struck a slap shot from the point that found the net to make it 2-2.
