DULUTH, Minn. (csssaints.com) – The St. Scholastica men's hockey team scored four goals in the first period and then held off Concordia University Wisconsin late to earn the series split with a 5-3 victory Saturday night at Mars Lakeview Arena.
 
First Period Fury
After leading for most of Friday night's contest, only to let it slip away in the final moments, the Saints came out with a statement on Saturday. It was Senior Night for the Saints and the seniors got things rolling early.
 
CSS scored its first goal two minutes and 36 seconds into the game on senior Kyle Beaulieu (White Rock, British Columbia/Earl Marriott (St. Norbert))'s second goal of the season. Max Mettler (North Mankato, Minn./Mankato West HS (Minot-NAHL)) and Kyle Star (Langley, British, Columbia/Brookswood (Trail Smoke-BCHL)) had the assists. Only 21 seconds later, it was senior Josh Hansen (Chilliwack, British Columbia/Unity Christian School (Chilliwack-BCHL) ) extending the Saints lead to 2-0. Seniors Brandon Millin (Port Moody, British Columbia/Heritage Woods HS (Notre Dame Hounds-SJHL) ) and Steven Phee (Balzac, Alberta/George McDougall HS (Canmore-AJHL) ) were credited with the assists.
 
Still in the first, Mark Whiteley (Surrey, British Columbia/Holy Cross HS (Marian University)) made it 3-0 Saints midway thru the period thanks to assists from Sam Williams (Winnipeg, Manitoba/River East Collegiate (Melville-SJHL) ) and Kale Derkson (Regina, Saskatchewan/Sheldon Williams Collegiate/Athol Murray College of Notre Dame (Notre Dame-SJHL)). It was the seniors again striking for the final tally of the period with Millin recording his 13th goal of the season with five minutes to go, making it 4-0 CSS at the first intermission. Phee and Hansen had the assists.
 
St. Scholastica out-shot Concordia 12-1 in the opening period.
 
Saints Hold On
The Saints extended the lead to 5-0 with 5:30 remaining in the second period on freshman Brett Radford (Campbell River, British Columbia/Athol Murray College of Notre Dame (Canmore-AJHL))'s 10th goal of the season. Senior Derek Sutliffe (Las Vegas, Nev./Odyssey Charter School (Langley Rivermen-BCHL) ) and fellow freshman Davis Ross (Fort Frances, Ontario/Fort Frances HS (Fort Frances-SIJHL)) had the assists.
 
The Falcons would try to get back in it with a goal at 32 seconds left in the second period and then another goal 24 seconds into the third period. Concordia would out-shoot the Saints 13-2 in the third period.
 
The Falcons then made it a 5-3 game with under two minutes remaining and would pull their goaltender, but the Saints would hang on for the 5-3 victory.
 
Goaltending
Senior goaltender Peter Megariotis (Anaheim Hills, Calif./Canyon HS (Adrian)) made 20 saves to earn the victory. Jack Romanuik had 14 saves in the loss for the Falcons (12-8-1, 9-6-1 NCHA).
 
Up Next
The Saints (12-8-1, 10-5-1 NCHA) will be on the road the rest of the way beginning with powerhouse St. Norbert College (Wis.) next weekend for a two-game NCHA series.
