The Devner Pioneers shutout the Northeastern Huskies and skated away with the Nye Frontier Classic Tournament title with a 3-0 win.<\/p>\n
The Pioneers scored on a power-play and two breakaways for the victory. Denver also defeated Boston College on Friday 4-3 to win the Classic championship. <\/p>\n
After a scoreless defensive-minded first period (nine total shots), the Pioneers struck twice in the second period. The first goal came on the power-play and was scored by Matt Weber at 6:26. It was Weber’s second goal of the Classic. DU added its second goal when Kevin Doell fed a streaking Greg Keith who skated in alone on NU goalie Jason Braun and scored his first goal of the season. <\/p>\n
Denver added to its lead at 4:41 of the third. This time it was Doell on the breakaway scoring DU’s third goal of the game. <\/p>\n
The Huskies had an opportunity to get back into the game. With two Pioneers in the penalty box, NU pulled Braun for the 6×3 advantage for 1:16. But despite several quality chances, the Huskies could not crack Pioneer goalie Adam Berkhoel (24 saves). Braun made 26 saves for the Huskies. <\/p>\n
The Huskies fall to 0-2 for the first time since the 1990-91 team began 0-5-1. Northeastern next plays on Friday Oct. 19 in the home opener versus Mercyhurst. Denver will host the US National Under-18 Team next Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
