CHESTERFIELD, Mo. – A 32-second surge and the Beavers came away with a win.

The No. 1 Minot State men's hockey team put a pair of goals in the net just 32 seconds apart in the first period, then made that hold up for a 2-0 win at No. 6 Maryville on Friday night.

The two teams face off again Saturday to wrap up their weekend series. Game time has tentatively been rescheduled for 8:45 a.m., to help avoid a winter storm forecast for the St. Louis area.

Friday on the ice, Jay Buchholz opened the scoring off an assist from Sean Williams, netting what proved to be the game-winner for Minot State (18-1-1-1 overall, 9-1-1-1 MCH) with 3 minutes, 34 seconds left in the first period.

Just 32 seconds later, Eric Krywy finished off assists from Christian Kadolph and Sheldin Howard, making it a 2-0 contest and providing all the game's scoring.

Minot State goalie William Dyke finished with the shutout win for the Beavers, but complete stats and saves for Dyke were not available.
