Gregg Zaporzan scored a power-play goal with 1:46 left in regulation to help Alaska-Anchorage earn a 4-4 tie with host Michigan Tech on Saturday night, snapping a 12-game losing streak.<\/p>\n
The Seawolves (5-15-2, 3-13-2 WCHA) played the last 2:33 of the third period and 2:27 of overtime with the man-advantage after Tech’s Brett Engelhardt was given a five-minute major for checking from behind and a game misconduct.<\/p>\n
Matt Ulwelling had a hat trick and added an assist for the Huskies (6-16-2, 4-13-1), who outshot UAA, 35-26.<\/p>\n
The Seawolves grabbed a 1-0 lead when Dallas Steward fired a shot between Jason Moilanen’s legs 2:15 into the game.<\/p>\n
Ulwelling tied the game with a power-play goal at 5:19. UAA goaltender Chris King stopped Tim Laurila’s shot from the point, but Ulwelling grabbed the rebound in the slot and desposited it upstairs.<\/p>\n
Shortly after UAA had a goal disallowed, Michigan Tech took the lead when freshman Jon Pittis redirected a shot from Ulwelling past King for his first collegiate goal at 3:07 of the second period.<\/p>\n
The Seawolves countered at 6:45 when Tyler Schnell beat Moilanen with a shot that snuck just inside the right post, but Tech took a 3-2 lead into the second intermission thanks to Ulwelling’s second goal of the night at 17:30.<\/p>\n
Alaska-Anchorage made it a tie game once again when Jesse Unklesbay took a pass from Matt Shasby, raced up the left side, and shot the puck through Moilanen’s five-hole at 5:13 of the third period.<\/p>\n
Ulwelling put the Huskies back in front when he completed the hat trick by scoring during a wild scramble in front of the UAA net. Ulwelling’s hat trick was Michigan Tech’s first since Jeff Mikesch scored three times against Northern Michigan on Feb. 9, 1996.<\/p>\n
The Huskies were 1-for-3 on the power play, while the Seawolves went 1-for-4.<\/p>\n
King stopped 31 shots for UAA, while Moilanen made 22 saves for Tech.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
