OXFORD, Ohio — The Miami University hockey team fell to No. 16/16 St. Cloud State 3-1 Saturday night despite a career-high 33 saves for freshman goaltender Bruno Bruveris. Dylan Moulton scored his fifth goal of the season for the RedHawks (7-19-2, 1-16-1 NCHC). Veeti Miettinen and Kyler Kupka each had two points for the Huskies (14-9-5, 10-4-4 NCHC).

HOW IT HAPPENED:

11:13 1st (SCSU 1-0) | St. Cloud State capitalized on the game's first power play with a goal by Adam Ingram. Veeti Miettinen sent a pass to Kupka near the goal after a series of passes around the top of the zone, and Kupka then relayed a backdoor feed to Ingram at the far post for a quick finish.
13:43 2nd (Miami 1-1) | Moulton tied the game at 1-1 in the middle period, backhanding the puck off St. Cloud goalie Isak Posch with just enough force for it to trickle into the net. Raimonds Vitolins started the play in the RedHawks' defensive zone, and Tanyon Bajzer dropped a pass off to a trailing Moulton in the middle of the rink for the primary assist.
10:16 3rd (SCSU 2-1) | Dylan Anhorn lifted the puck to the back of the net to take the lead back for the Huskies 2-1. Veeti Miettinen and Barrett Hall worked together to get the puck away from the RedHawks before Hall sent it to Anhorn across the ice.
18:01 3rd (SCSU 3-1) | With time ticking down, the Huskies added an insurance goal, maneuvering the puck up the side boards before Kupka retrieved it and fed a pass through the crease to Zach Okabe, who did the rest.
