Seawolves Rally To Tie Mavericks, 3-3

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Sophomore Tyler Weiss scored twice and the Omaha hockey team built three one-goal leads, but Alaska Anchorage came back to forge a 3-3 tie on Friday in the finale of their weekend series.

The Mavericks, who went 1-0-1 against the Seawolves after a 4-3 win on Thursday, also got a goal from Zach Jordan.  They improve to 4-1-1 on the season while UAA is now 1-4-1.

The Mavericks struck first just 52 seconds into the game.  Jordan pounced on the rebound of a shot by Brandon Scanlin and fired home his team-leading fourth goal of the season.

UAA got a power play later in the game and tied it when Rylee St. Onge scored off a one-timer at 14:56.

Omaha retook the lead on a power play early in the second period.  Weiss fired home his first goal of the season off a pass from Scanlin at 7:08.

But the Seawolves countered during UNO's third power play of the game.  Alex Frye scored off a breakaway to make it 2-2 less than two minutes after Weiss had given UNO the lead.  It was the Mavericks' first shorthanded goal allowed this season.

But Weiss put on a remarkable display of stickhandling to put the Mavericks back in front.  He weaved down the right wing and lifted a shot over the shoulder of goaltender Kris Carlson for an unassisted goal at 12:52.

The back-and-fourth continued in the third with UAA tying the game at 12:59 when Tanner Schachle scored on the power play.

Both Isaiah Saville of UNO and UAA's Carlson were steady down the stretch and in overtime to preserve the deadlock.  Saville had a game high 31 saves while Carlson stopped 24.

The Mavericks return home to host No. 7 Wisconsin on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 8-9.

GAME NOTES:
  • Weiss became the second Maverick to register a multiple-goal game, following Zach Jordan who did so against Alabama Huntsville on Oct. 12.
  • UAA outshot the Mavericks, 34-27.  It was just the second time the Mavericks have been outshot this season.
  • The Mavericks had their eight-game win streak against the Seawolves snapped, but they're now unbeaten in the last nine games head-to-head (8-0-1).
  • The Mavericks improved to 9-2-2 against UAA including a mark of 4-1-2 in Anchorage.
Three stars:  1. Tyler Weiss/Omaha (Two goals); 2. Tomi Hiekkavirta/UAA (Two assists); 3. Brandon Scanlin/Omaha (Two assists)
