Jaro Cesky and Andy Ness had a goal and assist each, and Ryan McIntosh came up with 28 saves in goal, to lead Augsburg College to a 5-4 victory over Concordia-Moorhead in a MIAC game Friday night at Augsburg Ice Arena.<\/p>\n
Concordia, the defending MIAC playoff champion and current conference leader, dropped to 7-6-2 overall and 6-2-1 in the MIAC. Augsburg improved to 6-8-2 overall and 3-3-1 in the MIAC with the win.<\/p>\n
Augsburg held a 5-2 lead after two periods, but had to hold on as Concordia scored twice in the final frame to cut the lead to 5-4. Concordia pulled goalie Bryan Howard in the closing two minutes, but could not put a shot past McIntosh with the extra attacker on the ice.<\/p>\n
Tony Putt and Ness had goals for the Auggies in the first period, Ness’ coming on a power-play tally with 52 seconds left in the period. Augsburg made it 3-1 in the opening 16 seconds of the second period, when Joe Johnson found the net. Cesky scored at the 18:31 mark, and Tim Olsen notched his team-leading 11th goal of the season 46 seconds later.<\/p>\n
Jay Schnell scored his first collegiate goal on an unassisted tally at the 3:18 mark of the first period for Concordia’s first goal, while Toby Schneider lit the lamp on a power-play goal at the 2:27 mark of the second frame.<\/p>\n
Mark Schiller and Aaron Marsh scored goals for the Cobbers in the third period to make the game close.<\/p>\n
Augsburg outshot Concordia by a 39-32 margin, as the two senior goalies, considered the top two netminders in the MIAC, were tested often. McIntosh made 28 saves and Howard made 34 saves.<\/p>\n
