OMAHA, Neb. – Lake Superior State rode a strong start to a 3-1 win over the UNO hockey team on Saturday night at Qwest Center Omaha.  #Terry Broadhurst# scored UNO's only goal during a frantic third period as the Mavericks tried to pull off a comeback.

UNO is now 5-2-3 on the year and 2-2-2-1 in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. 

Broadhurst scored his goal early in the third, stepping off the right wing wall and snapping a hard wrist shot past Lakers' goalie Brian Mahoney-Wilson.  It was his third goal of the year.

The Mavericks rang two posts shortly thereafter, one off a hard shot from #Eddie DelGrosso#.  They also had a later powerplay during which they pulled goalie #Jeremie Dupont# for an extra attacker but could not beat Mahoney-Wilson again.

The Lakers had a quick start, scoring just 59 seconds into the game.  Rick Schofield slipped through the UNO defense and threw a backhander past Dupont for Lake Superior State's first goal of the weekend.

The visitors doubled their lead with less than five minutes gone in the period.  Will Acton took a pass from Schofield and roofed a shot over Dupont to make it 2-0 after one.

UNO had to kill 4:30 of a five-minute major when #Alex Hudson# was ejected for checking from behind at 8:51 of the second period.  They did so but couldn't stop an even-strength goal by Domenic Monardo in the final minute of the stanza.  He finished off an odd-man rush, stuffing home a feed from Brad Cooper for his second goal of the season.  The Mavericks trailed 3-0 after two.

The Mavericks return to action on Nov. 20 and 21 when they travel to Marquette, Mich. to face Northern Michigan University.  Game time is 6:35 p.m. CT each night.
