DULUTH, Minn (November 14, 2009) – For the second straight night, UW-Stout and St. Scholastica played to a tie, this time a 1-1 decision at Mars Lakeview Arena Saturday night.
The Saints (3-1-2, 2-0-2 NCHA) got on the board first only seconds after Stout (2-2-2, 2-0-2 NCHA) took their third penalty of the first period. St. Scholastica’s Jeff Gagnon scored with only eight ticks left on the first period clock just seven seconds after Stout drew a penalty for a Saints’ power play goal.
The Blue Devils’ reciprocated midway through the second period with the same type of experience. Sam Carr (Fr, Roseau, Minn) scored his first collegiate goal on the power play only six seconds after St. Scholastica drew a penalty, with the time of goal at 11:01. Andy Sternberg (Sr, Duluth, Minn) assisted on the play. Neither team could score after that.
Stout was 1-for-5 on the power play, while the Saints were 1-for-7. Shots were dead-even as both teams put 39 shots on net with Stout goaltender Tom Lescovich (Fr, Clifton Park, NY) and Saints goalie Zach Kleiman each stopping 38 shots.
The teams played to a 4-4 draw on Friday and six of the eight goals scored were power play goals.
Stout will host UW-Stevens Point, Friday, Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. and again Saturday, Nov. 21 at 4 p.m.

Controversial Call
With less than minute to go in OT, Derek Hanson tallied a goal that was later retracted. The goal was for man in the crease on Joel Gaulrapp (#9) who you see getting tangled with goaltender. The video shows Kleiman of CSS tripping Joel Gaulrapp outside the crease, then recovers to his feet and is cleanly beat by Derek Hanson for the OT win. Goal or no goal? You be the judge.

Derek Hanson leads the scoring pace for UW-Stout where he scored 17 goals, 28 assists for a NCHA leading 45 points in 2008-2009. Hanson a 5’9 175lb center from Bemidji, MN played his junior hockey in the MJHL where he was a two-time all-star. Hanson is known for being in the right places at the right time and having a natural scoring ability. If Hanson has an open look, chances are he will bury the puck.
On the other side of the ice is Scott Motz, a 6’1 210lb winger from Lake Elmo, MN. Motz played his junior hockey with the Alexandria Blizzard in the NAHL with teammates Bobby Kuehl and Paul Henderson. Motz is the inevitable play-maker on the first line with Hanson and Gaulrapp setting up spectacular goals all season long. Motz finished 2008-2009 with 14 goals, 23 assists good for 37 points and 3rd overall in points in the conference. The most notable play for Motz last season was his cross-ice pass which allowed teammate Jack Wolgemuth to bury a clapper from the blue line with seconds remaining in the NCAA National Quarter-Final vs. St. Scholastica. That play put UW-Stout in the NCAA Frozen Four in Lake Placid, NY in March.
