Sam Newman (St. Louis, Mo./Priory) and
Ryley Sullivan (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho/Gonzaga Prep, Wash.) provided the assists on the goal, which was Schnobrich's second of the season and fifth of his career.
Junior
Dylan Lehrer (Prior Lake, Minn.) added an insurance goal, his second of the season, on an interesting play with 17 minutes remaining.
