HOUGHTON, Mich. – In a top 20 UP battle, No. 20 Lake Superior State defeated No. 18 Michigan Tech 3-1 Tuesday (Feb. 16) afternoon at the MacInnes Student Ice Arena. The Huskies are now 14-6-1 overall and 4-3 in the WCHA.
“I thought we played well, but we just couldn’t score,” Tech coach Joe Shawhan said. “Other than the 2-on-1 in the second period for a goal, we didn’t give up much in the game. I thought we generated enough offense to win but we didn’t. I credit Lake Superior for the job they did.”
