12-game win streak in the series.
LAST SERIES
Top-ranked Adrian swept a Northern Collegiate Hockey Association
series from the visiting Vikings last
weekend.
Adrian pulled away early and
rolled to an 8-2 win the series opener
last Friday.
The Bulldogs scored four times
in the first period and got two goals
apiece from Trevor Boyd and Connor
Armour in the game.
Lawrence got goals from a pair of
freshmen, Josh Koepplinger and Nick
Felan.
Adrian scored two goals in a span
of 26 seconds in the first period to
grab the lead. Armour got the Bulldogs on the board at the 11:28 mark,
and Adrian went on the power play
immediately with Boyd scoring on
the man-advantage at 11:54 for a 2-0
edge.
Lawrence cut the lead in half on
Felan’s goal at 13:27 with Brendan Vetter and Lane King picking up assists.
The Bulldogs stretched the lead to
4-1 as Cory Dunn and Taylor McCloy
both scored in the final 5:35 of the period.
Koepplinger gave the Vikings
some hope when he scored off assists
from Vetter and King just 1:11 into the
second period to trim the margin to
4-2.
Adrian struck back quickly with
two goals in a span of 1:34. Boyd
scored at 5:16 and Brent Sauve scored
at 6:50 to push the lead to 6-2. Adrian
added goals by Mat Thompson and
Armour in the third period.
Tyler Parks made 31 saves to pick
up the win for Adrian. Mattias Soderqvist started and made 16 saves for
the Vikings before being removed
in the second period. Greg Procopio
stopped 18 shots in relief for the Vikings.
Adrian skated to a 5-1 win on Saturday to complete the series sweep.
Jeremy Olinyk scored twice for the
Bulldogs, who picked up three goals
on special teams. Adrian went 2-for-8
on the power play and added a shorthanded goal.
Dillon Kelley made 21 saves to
pick up the win for Adrian. Procopio
stopped 30 shots for the Vikings.
Adrian scored a pair of first-period
power-play goals, including one with
just three seconds left, for a 2-0 edge
after one.
Olinyk made it 3-0 on a goal just
3:16 into the second period, and he
picked up a short-handed goal at the
10:41 mark of the second for a 4-0
lead.
The Bulldogs led 5-0 when Lawrence’s Ryan Robertson scored his first
career goal at the 12:57 mark of the
third. The junior defenseman scored
off assists from Jake Roeper and Koepplinger.
VIKINGS UPDATE
}Lawrence is in a brutal
stretch of games to finish
the season. Including the
games at Adrian, Lawrence will play just two
of its final eight games at
the Appleton Family Ice Center.
}The Vikings slipped back to fifth
place in the NCHA North Division.
Northland swept Finlandia last weekend and moved up to fourth place
with 12 points. The Vikings are now
fifth with 11 points and both teams
are chasing MSOE (14 points) for the
final playoff berth. St. Norbert and St.
Scholastica comfortably lead the division with 24 and 22 points, respectively. While Lawrence and MSOE face
off this weekend, Northland hosts No.
2-ranked St. Norbert.

Pointe Park, Mich.)
played in his 100th
game for the Vikings
this past Saturday.
Moore is just the
ninth player to hit Matt Moore
the 100-game plateau for Lawrence. Senior defenseman Brandon Boelter (Saginaw, Mich.)

2015-16 GAME RECAPS
October 30
No. 9 UW-Eau Claire 5, Lawrence 1
APPLETON, Wis. —
The No. 9 UW-Eau Claire
hockey team scored
three third-period goals
to break open a close
game and defeated Lawrence University 5-1 at the Appleton Family Ice
Center.
The Blugolds led 2-1 after the
second period in the season opener
for both teams, but Eau Claire scored
twice in the first 9:20 of the final period to break it open.
Preston Hodge’s goal to make it
3-1 came on a strange play. Lawrence
was on the power play when the Vikings were called for a delayed penalty. Eau Claire goaltender Tyler Green
was pulled and Hodge scored at the
5:16 mark on a short-handed goal.
Eau Claire’s Garrett Clemment
then scored on the power play at 9:20
to make it 4-1.
The game got a little chippy in the
final minutes, and Eau Claire finished
with 11 penalties for 33 minutes. The
Vikings had 10 penalties for 20 minutes. The Blugolds added an emptynetter with 53 seconds left to complete the scoring.
After a scoreless opening period,
Eau Claire scored twice in a span of
2:08 in the middle of the second.
Ethan Nauman and Preston Hodge
scored to stake the Blugolds to a 2-0
advantage.
Ryan Eardley got Lawrence on the
board at the 13:18 mark of the second
when he took a long pass from Brendan Vetter and rifled it past Green into
the upper left corner of the net.
Mattias Soderqvist stopped 26
shots for Lawrence, and Green made
23 saves for Eau Claire.

No. 2 UW-Stevens Point 9, Lawrence 1
APPLETON, Wis.
— The UW-Stevens
Point hockey team
converted 4-of-6
chances on the power play Saturday
night and went on to a 9-1 non-conference victory over Lawrence University at the Appleton Family Ice Center.
The second-ranked Pointers (2-00) scored a pair of power-play goals
in each of the first two periods to take
control. Joe Kalisz and Kyle Sharkey
each had a pair of goals for Stevens
Point, and both of Sharkey’s goals
came on the power play in the second
period.
Lawrence (0-2-0) got its goal in
the first period when Josh Koepplinger scored off an assist from Brad
Mueller. It was the first collegiate goal
for Koepplinger.
The Pointers led 4-1 after the
opening period, and that would be
the end of the night for Lawrence
goaltender Mattias Soderqvist. He
made 10 saves in the opening period.
Freshman James Schroeder played
the final two periods and finished
with 15 saves.
Stevens Point scored three more
times in the second, twice on the
power play, and then added a pair of
goals in the third.
