ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Despite a quick turnaround, the Minot State men's hockey team didn't miss a beat.

Hitting the ice 12 hours after posting a 2-0 win over host Maryville on Friday night, the No. 1-ranked Beavers completed the weekend sweep early Saturday morning, beating the 6^th-ranked Saints 3-2.

After a scoreless first period Saturday morning, the Saints grabbed the early lead before the Beavers (19-1-1-1 overall, 9-1-1-1 MCH) got rolling with three straight.

Joey Moffatt tied it with 7 minutes, 32 seconds gone in the second period off a Logan Rands assist, then Colby Joseph pushed Minot State in front 2-1, finishing off an assist from Austin Clyne with 9:01 left until the second intermission.

Jay Buchholz then netted the eventual game-winner with 2:36 left in the second.

An early third-period goal by Maryville got them within one, but William Dyke finished with 27 saves to fend off the Saints and earn the win.
Friday night, Dyke made 28 saves in his 3^rd shutout of the season.

Minot State now returns home to host Midland next weekend for a Sunday matinee on February 1 at 2 p.m. at the Maysa Arena.
