Box Score Game Summary / GameDay Preview

MILWAUKEE, Wis. — The Saint Mary's University men's hockey team — behind the stellar play of goalie Andy Scheib (Sun Prairie, Wis.) held high-powered and undefeated Milwaukee School of Engineering off the scoreboard for the game's first 55 minutes Friday evening.

Unfortunately for the Cardinals, in those final five minutes, the 11th-ranked Raiders scored twice, as MSOE handed SMU a 2-0 nonconference setback at the Kern Ice Center.

“We played pretty well the entire game,” said SMU coach Bill Moore, whose team was held without a goal for the first time this season. “It was a good college hockey game that, unfortunately, didn't go our way.”

Scheib was impenetrable in the first two periods, stopping all 25 shots the Raiders threw at him, then kicked out 13 of the 14 MSOE third-period shots. MSOE's Jordan Keizer was the only Raider able to get a puck past the Cardinal sophomore netminder, breaking the scoreless deadlock with his ninth goal of the season at 15:53 of the third period.

The sophomore would then add his team-leading 10th goal into an empty net with 42 seconds remaining in regulation.

“Everyone's a little disappointed,” Moore said. “This was definitely a game that could have gone either way, we just came out on the short end.”

The Cardinals, who fall to 3-6-0 overall, get another shot at the Raiders on Saturday, as the two teams square off in a 2 p.m. contest at the Kern Ice Center.
