Bemidji State University Senior Matt Read (F, Ilderton, Ontario) netted two goals and the Beavers entered the third period tied 3-3 with Alaska Anchorage, but a pair of Seawolves’ goals in the final frame ultimately proved to be too much for BSU.  UAA claimed the first ever meeting between the teams, 5-4, Friday at Sanford Center.

Bemidji State scored two goals in the first forty-two seconds as Sam Rendle (D, Grand Rapids, MN) scored on a shot from the left corner just twenty-seven seconds into the game.  Then Mat Read scored on a break-a-way just fifteen seconds later to put Bemidji State up 2-0.

Anchorage would answer back, however, scoring at 1:27 of the first to enter the dressing room trailing by just one goal.

Bemidji State handed away the puck too many times, something that Tom Serratore said was the downfall of the game. Tom Serratore Postgame

Bemidji State will host Anchorage again tomorrow night at the Sanford Center.  The Budweiser Pregame Show begins at 6:30pm…with the faceoff at 7:07pm.
