And down goes Bemidji!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It took 14 games &#8212; exactly halfway into the conference season &#8212; but someone finally beat Bemidji State. Michigan Tech, behind 17 saves from Angus Redmond and a late game-winning goal by Mike Neville, topped the Beavers 2-1 on Saturday night in Houghton. The win helped the Huskies earn the split after BSU&#8217;s Michael Bitzer made 26 saves in the Beavers&#8217; 3-1 win on Friday. It was a significant win for Tech, helping them stay eight points behind BSU in the league standings. &#160;(A Bemidji win would have put the Beavers up 14 points instead of eight). So while BSU&#8217;s lead is significant, Tech still remains in striking distance with half of their games left to play.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Seawolves finally get a league win<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Last-place Alaska Anchorage hasn&#8217;t had a whole lot of success this season, but a series against ninth-place Northern Michigan gave them a perfect opportunity. Behind a season-high five goals, the Seawolves beat the Wildcats 5-3 in Anchorage.&#160;Jonah Renouf, Jarrett Brown, Matt Anholt, Chase Van Allen and Connor Wright all scored for UAA, as the Seawolves earned their first conference victory &#8212; and first since a 1-0 win over Canisius in October. The Wildcats won 4-1 on Saturday but the win cut NMU&#8217;s lead to just one point (seven to six) in the standings. UAA, too, has played 10 games &#8212; fewest of anyone in the WCHA.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Goals galore in Mankato<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Minnesota State and Alaska combined for 20 goals in two games over the weekend &#8212; 10 each on Friday (7-3 MSU win) and Saturday (a 5-5 tie that ended with a Nanooks shootout victory).&#160;Marc Michaelis had a hat trick for MSU Friday &#8212; part of a seven point weekend &#8212; while Alaska&#8217;s Chad Staley scored twice Saturday to help the Nanooks earn the tie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
