Box Score

ST. CLOUD, Minn.– Ethan Hay and John Emmons each scored in a span of just over four minutes in the second period and (RV/RV) Miami University went on to finish off a hard-fought 2-1 win at No. 20/19 St. Cloud State Friday night.

Matteo Drobac made 25 saves for the RedHawks (15-8-2, 6-7-2 NCHC), who earned their first road victory over a nationally-ranked opponent since Nov. 19, 2022. Cooper Wylie scored the only goal for the Huskies (13-14-0, 6-11-0 NCHC).

HOW IT HAPPENED

6:03 2nd (Miami 1-0) | The RedHawks opened the scoring in the middle stanza after Michael Phelan spun away from a defender and worked a pass to Casper Nassen behind the Huskies' goal. Nassen fed Hay for a deep one-timer that bounced off a SCSU player's skate and into the net.
7:55 2nd (St. Cloud State 1-1) | St. Cloud State answered back less than two minutes later on a power-play goal. Wylie barely held the puck in at the blue line to keep the play alive and then eventually netted a long-range goal off assists from Noah Urness and Nolan Roed.
10:19 2nd (Miami 2-1) | Miami went back on top after Vladislav Lukashevich connected with Emmons on a pass from one blue line to the other. Emmons skated the puck in and finished past SCSU goaltender Patriks Berzins for what proved to be the game-winning goal. Doug Grimes initially deflected the puck back to Lukashevich and earned the second assist.
