SAULT STE. MARIE – The 19th-ranked University of Nebraska at Omaha completed the Central Collegiate Hockey Association sweep of Lake Superior State University, 2-1, Saturday night at the Taffey Abel Arena in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.

Senior goalie #Jerad Kaufmann# turned in a strong performance, stopping 47 Laker shots and came up with a number of spectacular saves while junior defenseman #Eddie DelGrosso# produced some timely offense, scoring the game-winner 9:13 into the third period.

The Mavericks weathered an early LSSU charge, as Kaufmann turned away 20 Laker shots in the first period to keep the score 0-0 heading into the first intermission.

The Lakers kept the pressure on the in the second, outshooting the Mavericks 17-3 in the frame, but it was the Mavs that struck first. Senior forward #Dan Charleston redirected a Pasko Skarica# slap shot from the blue line past LSSU goalie Pat Inglis at 8:16 of the second period.

LSSU squared the game, 1-1, 3:19 into the third on a Fred Cassiani marker. The Lakers, however, were able to hold the lead for just six minutes. DelGrosso put the Mavericks back out front, 2-1, as he had a shot deflect off a LSSU player's stick and past Inglis midway through the final frame.

UNO held off the Lakers' final desperate push to complete the sweep.

With the win, UNO improves to 11-4-3 on the season and 7-4-3-2 in conference play. The Mavericks now hold sole possession of third place in the CCHA standings with 19 points heading into the Christmas Break.
