Beavers hit jackpot in Vegas, complete sweep with 5-0 shutout of Rebels

LAS VEGAS - The No. 1-ranked Minot State men's hockey team got revenge on the opponent that handed them their first loss of the season, completing a weekend sweep of host UNLV with a 5-0 shutout victory late Saturday night. 

Riley Wallace got the start in goal and earned his second shutout of the season for the Beavers (19-4-0 overall) who skated to a thrilling 5-4 shootout win Friday night, as well. 

The Beavers didn't need extra time Saturday, though, as Reece Henry put Minot State on top late in the first period with the game-winner, and Trenton Curtis made it 2-0 with 1 minute, 37 seconds left before the first intermission. 

Troy Hamilton and Matthew Yakubowski added second-period goals for the Beavers and Ben Johnson's goal early in the third period helped ice the win. 

Minot State now returns home for a midweek match-up with in-state rival the University of Mary on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the Maysa Arena.
