MINNEAPOLIS (11/16/07) -- Sam Winsdor (JR, Plymouth, Minn.) and Nick Stalock (JR, South St. Paul, Minn.) had a goal and assist apiece, leading St. Olaf College to a 6-3 victory over host Augsburg College in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference men's hockey game on Friday night at the Augsburg Ice Arena.
Twelve different Oles figured in the scoring in the conference opener for both teams. St. Olaf is now 2-2-1 overall, while Augsburg is 0-4-1 overall. The teams complete the MIAC series on Saturday (11/17) at 7:05 p.m. at the Northfield Ice Arena.
St. Olaf scored the first five goals of the game before the Auggies rallied back with three unanswered goals in the third period, with tallies from Ben Roberts (FY, Bloomington, Minn./Jefferson HS), Ben Bradbury (JR, Winnipeg, Manitoba/Vincent Massey Collegiate HS) and Jim Jensen (FY, Plymouth, Minn./Osseo HS). But a Stalock goal with 2:05 left to play capped the scoring for the Oles.
With the win, St. Olaf snapped a 13-game winless streak (0-5-8) to the Auggies, dating to the 2000-01 season.
