JAMESTOWN, ND – A second straight defensive gem earned #10 University of Mary a 2-0 road win and the Marauders first weekend sweep of #8 University of Jamestown since moving up to ACHA MD1 for the 2023-24 season.
After scoring two goals in the final five minutes of play in a 2-1 home win over the Jimmies on Friday, the Marauders took their momentum on the road Saturday to Jamestown for another high-intensity game.
With UMary goaltender
Caleb Cross and Jimmies counterpart Brandon Weare locked in, the first goal didn't occur until the midpoint of the game.
Pouncing on a puck in front of the net,
Hunter Mangan scored at 8:02 of the second period to give UMary a 1-0 lead.
Levi Flatley and
Harrison Johnson picked up the assists on what proved to be the game-winning goal by Mangan.
In the third period, the Marauders took advantage of a major penalty by the Jimmies to add to the UMary lead. Following the expiration of a Marauders penalty that cut into their 5-minute man advantage opportunity,
John Lang knocked home a power play goal at the 7:05 mark of the final period with
Dain Sardelli and
Joe Gronholz claiming assists.
It was the second straight game with a goal for Lang, who scored the game-winner on Friday.
UMary was then immediately forced to kill off a Jamestown power play opportunity to maintain its two-goal lead.
Cross finished with 45 saves in the game to earn the shutout. He had 24 stops in the second period and 12 in the third.
Weare had 27 saves in the game.
Both teams had seven power play opportunities with the Marauders cashing in once. Jamestown was called for nine infractions totaling 31 minutes while UMary was called for nine minors.
The Marauders improve to 10-4-0-0-1-0 (W-L-OTL-T-SOW-SOL) this season. The Jimmies are 10-5-1-0-0-0.
UMary leads The Jug series three wins to one this season.
The Marauders next head to the ACHA-JOG Chicago Classic for a trio of games in Romeoville, IL, including two against nationally-ranked teams. UMary faces #3 UNLV at 1:30 pm Thursday, November 19, Hope College at 1:40 pm on Friday, November 20, and #12 University of Utah at 12:50 pm on Saturday, November 21.
