The Denver Pioneers scored two goals in the last minute to pull even with the Minnesota State Mavericks, 3-3, in Western Collegiate Hockey Association play Saturday night at Magness Arena. With the tie Denver is 15-6-4, 6-5-4 and Minnesota State is 9-7-7, 7-5-5.<\/p>\n
“We were very fortunate to get the tie and one point,” said head coach George Gwozdecky . “That is not to say that we are pleased with the result. We know that it is going to take a 100 percent effort all 60 minutes to win the game.”<\/p>\n
The Pioneers scored on their third shot of the evening as sophomore Luke Fulghum took a pass from junior Max Bull on a two-on-one shorthanded rush. Fulghum was able to beat Jon Volp top-shelf for his fourth goal of the year. <\/p>\n
The Mavericks responded less than two minutes later, using a man-advantage to tie the score at 1-1. Grant Stevenson’s rebound found the stick of Cole Bassett who then beat Wade Dubielewicz. Denver was outshot 13-5, but Dubielewicz made three point-blank saves to keep the Pioneers in the game.<\/p>\n
Denver was more aggressive in the second period but was not able to capitalize on a couple of great opportunities. Dubielewicz continued his outstanding play, keeping the Mavericks in their saddle for another period. The senior stopped 12 more shots during the second frame.<\/p>\n
MSU ended the 22:29 scoring drought with a power-play goal at the 9:01 mark of the third period. Joe Bourne deflected a Jake Brenk shot past Dubielewizc stick-side. Minnesota State went up 3-1 one minute later as Stevenson put home a loose puck after a Joseph shot.<\/p>\n
The Pioneers pulled Dubielewicz with just over a minute remaining and Fulghum responded by scoring his second goal of the night to pull Denver within one. Sophomore Kevin Ulanski finished the job, tying the score at 3-3.<\/p>\n
Dubielewicz had 32 saves while Volp had 30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
