Maryville scored four times in the first period and held off Lake Superior State 4-3 in an exhibition game Friday, Nov. 6, at Taffy Abel Arena in Sault Ste. Marie. Calem Mangone scored twice for the Lakers, who had beaten Maryville 6-0 on Thursday. Both games were exhibitions because Maryville is moving from ACHA club hockey to the NCAA, so neither counts in LSSU’s 2-4-2 record.

How it happened

Maryville jumped ahead early. Ridge Dawson scored at 2:01, Anthony Hall added a power-play goal at 6:04, and Adam Timm made it 3-0 at 11:18. Hunter Ramos got the Lakers on the board at 17:29, with Teo Besnier and Ethan Moore assisting, but Adam Cavallin restored the three-goal lead with 28 seconds left in the period.

Mangone cut the gap to 4-2 at 3:51 of the second, set up by Doogan Pederson and Besnier, and scored again on the power play at 15:42 of the third, with Casper Nässén and Ramos assisting. Lake Superior State could not find the equalizer.

Goalies and numbers

Anders Miller started for the Lakers and allowed four goals on nine shots in 22:35 before Andrew Oke took over and stopped all 12 shots he faced. Maryville’s Louis-Felix Charrois made 23 saves. LSSU outshot Maryville 26-21, went 1-for-5 on the power play, and won 31 of 56 faceoffs. Attendance was 690.

In Thursday’s 6-0 win, Mangone also scored twice, Nässén, Toresson, Pederson, and Ramos added goals, and the Lakers outshot Maryville 42-14 as Oke and Charlie Tritt split the shutout.

What’s next

The Lakers are off this weekend and return to CCHA play Nov. 13-14 at Michigan Tech’s John MacInnes Student Ice Arena in Houghton. They will be without freshman Raoul Boilard, who is serving a four-game CCHA suspension (earlier on Mitten Hockey).
