Box Score

STEVENS POINT, Wis. - No. 11 Wisconsin-Stevens Point scored two shorthanded goals in the game's final 2:14 to defeat Saint John's 4-2 on Saturday, Nov. 12, in Stevens Point, Wis.

The Johnnies (1-3-1, 0-1-0 MIAC) were given their sixth power play of the game with 2:52 remaining and the game tied at 2-2, but Connor Scahill scored a controversial, shorthanded goal with 2:14 left. Senior goaltender Michael Magnuson (Sunfish Lake, Minn.) made the save with his glove, but an official ruled that the puck crossed the goal line. The goal judge disagreed, but the officials let the goal stand. Magnuson tied a career high with 33 saves in the loss.

The bizarre goal was another late swing of momentum against the Johnnies. The third consecutive, to be exact. The Milwaukee School of Engineering (Wis.) scored the game-tying goal, with an extra attacker on the power play (6-on-4), with 32 seconds remaining in last Sunday's (Nov. 7) 4-4 tie. Three days later (Wednesday), Bethel scored the game-winning goal as the overtime horn sounded in 1-0 loss to open the MIAC schedule.

Carter Roo ended the scoring for UWSP (3-2-0, 0-0-0 WIAC) Friday with another shorthanded goal, thanks to an empty net, with 1:45 left.

The Pointers gained an early 1-0 lead 30 seconds into the game, but junior forward Brett Meister (White Bear Lake, Minn.) tied it up with his first goal of the season (second of his career) 1:42 later. Stevens Point re-gained the lead with 5:34 left in the opening period.

Following a scoreless second period, freshman forward Matt DeRosa (Alpharetta, Ga.) tied the game with his second collegiate goal 4:21 into the third period.

UWSP out-shot SJU by a 37-25 margin, but just 11-10 in the third period. SJU's power-play woes continued with a 0-for-6 performance and is now 0-for-24 so far this season.

The Johnnies take on Wisconsin-Stout (0-5, 0-0 WIAC) for a 7 p.m. puck-drop on Saturday, Nov. 13, in Menomonie, Wis.
