College Hockey
The Michigan Tech hockey team outscored Ferris State University 6-4 last night. The scoring started early – Justin Misiak put the Huskies on the board just 34 seconds into the game, and the Bulldogs tied it 26 seconds later. Colin Swoyer, Tristan Ashbrook and Alec Broetzman found the net in the second period. Trenton Bliss scored the game-winner on a third-period power play. Ferris closed the gap after pulling their goalie late in the game, but an empty-netter by Jake Crespi sealed the win.
The Huskies head south to take on Alabama-Huntsville Friday and Saturday.
Tech freshman forward Arvid Caderoth has been named the Western Collegiate Hockey Association Rookie of the Month for January. Caderoth led WCHA rookies with seven points last month.
