Box Score
MENDOTA HEIGHTS, Minn. — There was not heartbreaking third-period letdown for the Saint Mary's University men's hockey team Saturday evening in the Cardinals' rematch against St. Thomas Saturday evening.
The Tommies, who rallied from deficits of 2-0 after the first period and 3-2 after the second to beat SMU 4-3 at the SMU Ice Arena on Friday, scored the game's first three goals and never looked back in completing the sweep with a 4-1 victory at the St. Thomas Ice Arena.
St. Thomas got two goals from Alex Arnason, and senior Joe Schraeder stopped 22 shots as the Toms scored a 4-1 win over St. Mary's in Saturday night's MIAC men's hockey game in Mendota Heights.
The Tommies (8-9-4 overall, 5-5-2 MIAC) outshot the Cardinals 41-23 in completing the hard-fought weekend sweep.
Rob Johnson scored late in the first period. Arnason and Evan Macintosh scored goals in the second period.
SMU's
Ben Kitzmiller scored a power-play goal midway through the final period. But Arnason scored an even-strength goal with six seconds to play to close out the offense and finish with a four-point series.
Andy Scheib had 37 saves in goal for the Cardinals, who are back in action on Friday, playing host to Augsburg in the first game of their two-game conference series at the SMU Ice Arena.
