Auggies open season with a bang, 7-3 over St. Thomas!

Men's Hockey 11/4/00 -- Augsburg 7, St. Thomas 3
MINNEAPOLIS (11/4/00) -- Jaro Cesky (So., Prague, Czech Republic) had a six-point night with one goal and five assists, leading the Augsburg College men's hockey team to a 7-3 victory over the University of St. Thomas in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game Saturday night at Augsburg Ice Arena. The game was the first of the season for both teams.

Cesky was one of several Auggies to have big season-opening games against the Tommies, the defending MIAC champions and NCAA Division III national runner-up. Playing in his first collegiate game, Tim Olsen (Fr., Vadnais Heights, Minn./White Bear Lake HS) scored a three-goal hat trick. Joe Johnson (Jr., Ramsey, Minn./Anoka HS), on the same line as Olsen and Cesky, recorded five assists.

Nick Murray (Jr., Bloomington, Minn./Holy Angels HS) had two goals for the Auggies, and Brad Schwartzbauer (Jr., White Bear Lake, Minn.) notched a goal and an assist.

The Auggies claimed the dominating win despite being outshot by a 43-32 margin; St. Thomas had 18 shots in the third period alone. However, Ryan McIntosh (Sr., Calgary, Alberta/Bishop Grandin HS) made 40 saves in a strong performance in goal for the Auggies. St. Thomas used two goalies in the contest.

The Tommies were paced by Drew Palmgren (So., Blaine, Minn.), who had two of the team's three goals. Jake Searles (Jr., Centerville, Minn./Totino-Grace HS) had the other St. Thomas goal.

Augsburg jumped out to a five-goal lead in the first period-and-a-half, with the team's first line playing a part in each of the goals. St. Thomas rallied, but could not edge closer than three goals to the Auggies.

The teams conclude their season-opening MIAC series on Sunday (11/5) at 4 p.m. at St. Thomas' home rink, the State Fair Coliseum in St. Paul, Minn.
