MINNEAPOLIS -- Surrendering a pair of goals in the third period, the Augsburg University men's hockey team dropped a 3-1 nonconference contest to the Milwaukee School of Engineering on Tuesday evening.

THE BASICS
FINAL SCORE: Milwaukee School of Engineering (Wis.) 3, Augsburg 1
LOCATION: Ed Saugestad Rink, Minneapolis
RECORDS: Augsburg 3 6-0 overall, MSOE 3-5-1 overall

HOW IT HAPPENED
• The Auggies gave up the first goal of the game at the 13:29 mark of the second period, but tied the game 2:11 later with a shorthanded goal by Nick Catalano (JR, Pewaukee, Wis./Arrowhead Union HS) on a brilliant assist by Peyton Hanson (JR, Hudson, Wis./Hudson HS). Hanson gained the puck on a steal, pushed the puck forward on a break and dove to direct it towards a streaking Catalano, who snapped a wrist shot into the net for his first goal of the season.
• Augsburg was outshot by a 43-28 margin in the game, as the visiting Raiders kept constant pressure on the hosts. Graham Harris (FY, Minnetonka, Minn./Minnetonka HS) and Zachary Reim (FY, Shoreview, Minn./Gentry Academy) had four shots on-goal each, and Jake Osiecki (SR, Verona, Wis./Verona HS) had four blocked shots.
• Augsburg goalie Carsen Stokes (SO, Prior Lake, Minn./Shattuck-St. Mary's HS) had a season-high 40 saves.

FOR THE FOES
• Seth Bernard and Carson Jones had a goal and assist each for MSOE.
• Austin Schwab had 27 saves in goal for the Raiders.
