No. 6 St. Cloud battled back from a three-goal deficit to gain a big 7-5 win over No. 4 Colorado College. The Huskies scored five unanswered goals over the final two periods, including a pair early in the third period by Tyler Arnason, to earn the win.<\/p>\n
The victory, much-needed for the Huskies coming off the heels of Friday’s loss to CC, pushes SCSU’s record to 20-7-1 (13-7-0 WCHA). Colorado College fell to 20-6-1 (15-6-0 WCHA).<\/p>\n
CC jumped to a 1-0 lead at 12:37 of the first with a goal by Alex Kim, then moved to a 2-0 lead with a goal by Mark Cullen at 14:37 on the power play.<\/p>\n
SCSU charted its first goal at 15:17 of the period when Brian Gaffaney scored with an assist from Ritchie Larson.<\/p>\n
However, just 28 seconds later, Kim struck again for the Tigers, and Noah Clarke added another one just minutes later for a 4-1 lead.<\/p>\n
The shooting gallery continued into the second period, with SCSU starting its comeback on a goal by Brandon Sampair just 1:27 in. The comeback was temporarily thwarted at 2:52, when Peter Sejna gave CC a 5-2 lead on a power-play goal.<\/p>\n
From that point it was all St. Cloud. Andy Lundbohm posted his third goal of the season at 11:51 of the second before Jon Cullen gave the Huskies another goal at 16:01 to end the second period scoring, with St. Cloud trailing 5-4.<\/p>\n
In the final period, Arnason charted a power-play goal to tie the game at 3:08. Arnason struck again at 7:49 with the game winner, with an assist from Sampair. Sampair added an empty netter with 14 seconds remaining to cap the comeback. <\/p>\n
In the nets, Dean Weasler made the start in place of injured regular Scott Meyer for the Huskies. Weasler had 26 saves, while CC outshot the Huskies 31-29. Jeff Sanger was tagged with the loss for CC with 22 saves.<\/p>\n
The rally from 4-1 down was the first time since Nov. 29, 1997 that SCSU has overcome a three-goal deficit. In that game, SCSU defeated Denver, 6-4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
