Once again, I'd like to apologize for the internet outage last night at the arena. Here's what happened after things cut out.
Mavericks, Beavers Split

The MSU Mavericks looked to continue the momentum gained from last weekend’s three-point effort in St. Cloud against Bemidji State. Unfortunately for the Mavericks, it was a tale of two games this series.
Friday Night: The Mavericks played outstanding hockey through the first two periods, leading 1-0 on a Ben Youds goal and limiting the Beavers to 11 shots on goal. Bemidji’s Jordan George, who would be a key player in Saturday’s matchup, tied the game at 17:35 of the third period and the game went to overtime. Channing Boe delivered an unassisted goal at 2:32 of the extra session to give the Mavericks two much needed points in the WCHA standings and the 2-1 OT win.
Saturday Night: The Mavericks held serve through the first period holding a 1-0 lead following a Michael Dorr goal. Soon after the second period started is when the wheels came off for the Mavericks: MSU failed to get off a single shot on goal on three of their six power plays on the night, combined with Bemidji scoring twice in 1:26 midway through the 2nd period on goals by Brad Hunt and Jordan George to give the Beavers the lead for good and a 2-1 lead after 60 minutes. George would add another goal, along with an Ian Lowe goal in the 3rd period to give the Beavers the 4-1 win and handing the Mavericks their first loss to an unranked opponent since falling to Michigan Tech in October.
The Mavericks (12-12-6, 6-12-4 WCHA) travel to Colorado Springs next weekend to take on Colorado College while the Beavers (10-14-2, 6-12-2 WCHA) visit Houghton for a series against Michigan Tech.
