NORTHFIELD, Minn. – The St. Olaf College men's hockey team scored the final six goals of the game, including in the third period, to cap a five-point weekend with a 7-2 victory over Hamline University on Saturday evening at St. Olaf Ice Arena.

Coming off a 3-2 overtime victory on Friday night, St. Olaf (4-3-1, 2-1-1 MIAC) trailed 1-0 and 2-1 after Hamline (3-5-0, 1-3-0 MIAC) scored early in each of the first two periods, but the Oles scored twice in the second and four more times in the third to cruise to the win. Thirteen of St. Olaf's 19 skaters in the lineup had at least one point in the victory.

Junior Eric Brown and senior Troy Bowditch each tallied two goals for the Oles, with Brown scoring twice in the same game for the first time in his career. Sophomore Jonathan Panisa added a goal and an assist, while junior Cody Sherman, who scored the game-winner in overtime on Friday, picked up two assists.

The Pipers got on the board first just 1:21 into the game on a goal by AJ Carls before the Oles hit back at the 13:02 mark on Brown's first goal of the evening. After the teams went into the second intermission tied at 1-1, Hamline again started the second period quickly, as Bailey Sommers scored just 28 seconds in to give the visitors their second lead of the game.

The lead lasted less than four minutes, however, as first year Tyler Green found Brown with a stretch pass and Brown scored on the backhand on the power play at 4:21 of the second period to knot the game at 2-2. The score remained 2-2 until junior Matthew Pointer teed up sophomore Kelijah McElroy with a cross-ice pass for the eventual game-winning goal at 6:37 of the second.

Early in the third, sophomore Jonathan Panisa buried a one-timer from between the circles off a pass from Sherman at 2:48 and, a little over three minutes later, Panisa and Sherman assisted on Bowditch's first goal of the game to give the Oles breathing room at 5-2. Bowditch added his second goal midway through the period before junior Jonathan Young collected his team-leading fourth goal of the season to close out the scoring.

Junior Thomas Lalonde registered his first win of the season with a 22-save outing between the pipes for St. Olaf, which chased Maximillian Haselbacher with the seven-goal outburst. Haselbacher had 20 saves in the first 55:25 for Hamline and earned an assist on the Pipers' second goal.

St. Olaf heads to Plattsburgh, N.Y. for the LayerEight Shootout late next week and opens the tournament against Plattsburgh State, which is ranked No. 1 in the country this week, at 6 p.m. CST on Friday, Nov. 24.
