ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Gustavus men’s hockey team suffered a 2-1 loss against Hamline Saturday. With the loss the Gusties fall to 9-7-3 overall and 5-3-2 in the conference while the Pipers move to 4-13-4 and 2-7-3 in the MIAC.
“Tonight was just a frustrating night for us on a number of different levels.” said Head Coach Brett Petersen.
After his Friday night hat trick, Caleb Anderson (Jr., Sioux Falls, S.D.) got the scoring started with his 13th goal of the season on an assist from Connor Clemons (So., Savage). The Gusties would outshoot the Pipers 12-10 for the one goal advantage to end the first period.
The second period would play out scoreless with the Gusties continuing to apply pressure, outshooting the Pipers 14-4.
Hamline came out firing in the third period scoring just thirty seconds into the third period to tie it up. The Pipers would continue their momentum and use a Gustavus penalty to their advantage notching a power play goal for a 2-1 lead that would hold out for the victory.
Robbie Goor (Jr., Anoka) started in net and made 18 saves while allowing two goals.
The Gusties will be back in action when they host Concordia on Friday night at 7:05 p.m. in Saint Peter.
