St. Cloud State 5, Omaha 3

No. 6 St. Cloud State skated to a 5-3 win over No. 13 Omaha Friday on the efforts of several skaters.

Nick Poehling, Judd Peterson, Jimmy Schuldt and Robby Jackson each recorded two points despite a commendable, 37-save effort by Evan Weninger.

Omaha’s David Pope was arguably the best player on the ice, but even his hat trick couldn’t lift the Mavericks over their NCHC rival, though they’ll have a chance to even the series Saturday.
