Staff Report

An armed robbery involving three male victims occurred over the weekend within two blocks west of SCSU’s campus. At ap-proximately 2:09 a.m. on Saturday, the St. Cloud Police received a complaint about the robbery, which was in progress in the 600 block of 7th Avenue South in St. Cloud during the time of the call. The three vic-tims were confronted by two male suspects, one armed with a handgun, which was discharged during the

incident. Fortunately the suspect did not injure either of the victims. The suspects are believed to have left the scene in a motor vehicle.

Further investigation indicates that the crime was a random incident. Due to the fact that it happened so close to campus, univer-sity authorities are urging individuals to be aware of the incident and are recom-mending that the following precautions are practiced:

- Traveling in groups rather than travelling alone.

- Being constantly mind-ful of other people within

the viscinity and the activi-ties which are occurring in the immediate surroundings.

- Calling “911” immedi-ately if anything suspicious seems to be happening.

- Utilizing SCSU’s escort and bus services by calling 320.308.3333.

Additional information is currently being with-held as authorities actively investigate the case, though anyone with information re-garding the incident is urged to immediately contact the St. Cloud Police Depart-ment at 320.251.1200 or Tri-County Crimestop-

pers at 320.255.1301 or 1.800.255.1301, or by visiting www.tricounty-crimestoppers.org. Crime tips are also encouraged to be texted to the Tri-County Crimestoppers by entering 274637 (“crimes”) into the destination box, starting the text with TRITIP, entering a space, then typing in the tip information.

The email also reminded students and community members to dress warmly to protect against the extreme-ly cold weather conditions and wind chill factors for the next several days.

“K through 12 educa-tion is going to help [Min-nesota’s] economy be very competitive, and also for the nation as well,” says Dr. Wil-liams. “Over the past years we’ve invested a lot in STEM education.”

The STEM Summit is planned out by Dr. Wil-liams herself, who spends months preparing. She has a lot of help from assistant Neil Hopfer, an Elementary Education major at SCSU who says working with Dr. Williams has reiterated the importance of STEM educa-tion to him.

“There’s lots [from] STEM that we can incor-porate into our classrooms,” Hopfer says. “I’ve learned a lot [about] how important it is for us to continue to in-crease STEM in the schools, and how the results have shown that there’s going to be a lot of degrees avail-able in the future [in those ÅMTL[E�º

The STEM Summit is free for the students, and according to Hopfer there will be around 1,500 rang-ing from 7th to 12th grade attending this year. All ac-

tivities and presentations will take place in Atwood.

In addition to teaching youth about science and math, the STEM Summit also functions to promote SCSU. Each student in attendance will receive a booklet about the university, and several admissions repre-sentatives have volunteered to work at the summit.

Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) will give a special video welcome from Wash-ington, D.C. for the students. Gov. Mark Dayton will be giving a Proclamation to Dr. Williams for her work with STEM.

Attractions will include chemist-turned-entertainer Professor Sepoc, who will be performing her “It’s not

Magic, it’s Science Harry Potter Show.” Another high-light is the ExploraDome, a 25-foot diameter video planetarium.

The students will be eat-ing lunch in shifts between 11:45 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. in Garvey Commons. SCSU students who dine at Garvey should be aware of this and how it may affect them.

Dr. Williams asks SCSU students to show kindness and understanding toward the visiting students because of how this experience _QTT�QVÆ]MVKM�\PMQZ�^QM_�WN �higher education. To her, this event is not only a fun day for youth, but something she hopes will ignite passion for education, both now and in the future.

Whether looking for internships, part-time employment, summer employment, or full-time employ-ment, students will have the opportunity to converse with some of the state’s largest businesses at this year’s Diversity Job and Internship Fair.

The event will take place on the second ÆWWZ�WN �\PM�)\_WWL�Memorial Center from 1-4 p.m. on Jan. 25.

Its sponsors in-clude Career Services, Multicultural Student Services, the Ameri-can Indian Center, the LGBT Resource Center and Student Disability Services.

Close to 80 em-XTWaMZ[�QV�ÅMTL[�[]KP�as business, health and human services, science, engineering, VWV�XZWÅ\[��OW^MZV-ment, education, and communications will be attending.

These employers represent widely-known companies like 3M, AT&T, Walgreens

Co. and Target, local entities such as St. Cloud School District 742, St. Cloud VA Health Care System, St. Cloud Hospital and Sherburne Coun-ty Area United Way, government agencies like the Minnesota State Patrol, MnDOT, and the Minnesota Department of Cor-rections as well as pro-fessional sports teams; just to name a few.

Students planning on attending should dress professionally and bring a resume.

Students without

a resume can get help putting one together from Career Services.

Employers will be offering internships, part-time employment and summer employ-UMV\��[W�ÅZ[\�IVL�second-year students are encouraged to at-tend as well.

According to Andrew Ditlevson, associate director for employment services, not only is the Diver-sity Job and Internship Fair the largest college diversity fair in Min-nesota, it’s the largest on-campus job Fair in

Å^M�aMIZ[�IVL�WNNMZ[�the widest variety of employers and types of positions of any job fair with “opportuni-ties for virtually every major.”

Last year, more than 700 students attended the fair from 27 college campuses, according to Ditlev-son.

While the Diversity Job and Internship fair does take place during the Power in Diversity Conference, the fair requires no registra-tion and is free.

The Power in Di-

Facebook announces ‘graph search’ feature

Staff Report

SCSU has been recog-nized as a top military-friendly school.

KMI Media Group in Rockville, Md. publishes an annual guide to military-friendly colleges and universi-ties based on survey responses from nearly 300 institutions.

The 2013 guide is part of the December issue of

Military Advanced Education magazine, a journal of higher learning published 10 times a year for members of America’s armed forces.

TECH COLUMN

Facebook has announced that it will be transforming its search engine into what is called a “graph search”.

The St. Cloud Times reports that unlike the search which is currently being used, \PM�VM_�OZIXP�[MIZKP�_QTT�¹N]TTa�M`XTWZM�the relationships and connections between other Facebook users,” which means that instead of typing in keywords to bring up generalized results, users will be able to conduct more personal searches, with their results now based on the people in their friends list.

The St. Cloud Times includes restau-ZIV\[�I[�IV�MÌUXTM��ZMXWZ\QVO��¹QV[\MIL�of asking Google to search for ‘St. Cloud restaurants’, users can query Facebook Graph Search for ‘restaurants in St. Cloud

liked by my friends older than 21 years’,” thus allowing users to conduct a more per-sonalized, and in some cases more relevant, search.

The new graph search technology would allow for users to eliminate the need \W�ZQÆM�\PZW]OP�ITT�WN �\PM�QVNWZUI\QWV�Google provides in each search result so they can jump straight to what they were looking for.

As pointed out in the St. Cloud Times, however, Facebook is not completely stray-ing away from traditional search technol-ogy, incorporating Google’s rival search engine, Bing, to accommodate for the rest. <PQ[�QVKT]LM[�TM[[�[XMKQÅK�SMa�_WZL[�][MZ[�often use now: ‘restaurant’, ‘cheap’, ‘ham sandwich’, etc.

They also go on to report that Facebook has claimed that the new graph search technology respects the privacy settings

of each user by protecting each individual piece of searchable information. This way, the only results to appear in a search would JMTWVO�\W�QVLQ^QL]IT[�_PW�PI^M�[XMKQÅML�permission in their Facebook privacy set-tings.

But not everyone shares Facebook’s M`KQ\MUMV\�NWZ�\PM�\WWT��)V�IZ\QKTM�QV�<PM�New York Times reports that in the begin-ning, the graph search will “mine users’ interests, photos, check-ins and ‘likes’, but later it will search through other informa-tion, including status updates.”

,W]J\�_I[�M`XZM[[ML�QV�\PM�6M_�AWZS�Times article about Facebook’s promises of complete privacy from the graph search, referencing an older article from Decem-ber 2012 which reported Facebook’s past elimination of the ability for users to hide themselves from search results unless the users searching them are blocked, a feature

previously enjoyed by many of the more private users of the social networking website.

Despite Google’s attempts to person-alize its search engine and make it more social, as is pointed out in The New York Times, no company has attempted social search on this scale before now. Computer science engineer professor at Washington University told the New York Times that this is a “watershed moment,” saying that the scale at which Facebook operates sets it apart from other companies, “especially WVKM�\PMa�N]TTa�QVLM`�M^MZa\PQVO�_M¼^M�[IQL�or say or like.”

The graph search has not been made available to everyone yet, the St. Cloud Times reports, though it’s being slowly introduced to its users through a beta pro-gram. Those interested may sign up to be a part of it at the hub at graph search.

In the wake of the recent trag-edies, controversy has once again sparked the gun rights debate. Trag-edies such as Virginia Tech have the American public clamoring to defend themselves.

Many college students are using their Second Amendment right to bear arms to feel protected around their campus. However, even with a concealed weapons permit, guns remained banned on campus.

I believe SCSU, the U of M, and other MnSCU schools need to lift the weapons ban on college campuses. With the nation reeling after such events, Minnesota and MnSCU schools can lead the nation in proper gun use and gun advocacy.

The Virginia Tech shootings in particular show clearly that campus police and law enforcement cannot arrive at the scene of the crime in time to save lives.

The Virginia Tech gunman had the foresight to chain shut three main entrances to the building

where the attack occurred. Only the people who were there during the attack had the ability to end it be-fore more innocent lives were taken.

Taking away weapons is not the solution to the problem. Making drugs illegal doesn’t stop people from using them, so why would weapons turn out any differently?

Equally, no one who has ever decided to attack a school has read a sign that says, “No guns allowed past this point” and ever said, “darn” and turned around and walked away.

Giving students and faculty the opportunity to defend themselves is in the best interest of everyone’s [INM\a�IVL�ZMÆMK\[�\PM�ÎT]M[�\PM�United States was founded upon.

Minnesota law has strict rules on who can carry a concealed weapon. Earning a CHL/CCW (Concealed Handgun License/Concealed Carry Weapons) permit in Minnesota involves a number of tasks to ensure the safety of the public.

According to usacarry.com, Min-nesota has six requirements along _Q\P�Å^M�ZMY]QZML�LWK]UMV\[�\W�even start obtaining a CHL, includ-ing extensive state and federal back-OZW]VL�IVL�ÅVOMZXZQV\�KPMKS[�

I am not condoning that every-one on campus arm themselves. I just believe that students on campus should be awarded the right to bear arms if chosen to do so.

Permitting guns on campus will

help protect the safety of women as well. According to concealedweap-ons.org, in recent polls women have been choosing to arm themselves more than ever.

If the proper knowledge about ÅZMIZU�][M�_I[�_QLM[XZMIL�IKZW[[�the MnSCU schools, students and faculty would be much more pre-pared and equipped to handle these tragic situations.

Sadly, we only have deviated further from solving the problem. Banning guns all together is an irra-tional decision that will cost the lives of many innocent Americans, who otherwise may have had the tools to defend themselves.

Let’s start solving the problem Ja�TQN\QVO�\PM�JIV�WV�ÅZMIZU[�I\�SCSU and all MnSCU schools. From there, federal and state regula-tion will allow students who want a CHL/CCW permit to obtain one, and schools can help by teaching students more about proper gun use.

For example, if a student wishes to carry a weapon on campus, he or she has to complete special college gun education courses that promote and insure the safety of the public and college.

What we cannot do is let our Second Amendment right be taken away. Only more tragedies will oc-cur, and we will be standing there asking ourselves what we could’ve done.

SCSU and other MnSCU schools need to re-evaluate gun procedures on campus

Mark Schrom

SPORTS EDITOR

Lance Armstrong coming clean?

The reaction of Lance )ZU[\ZWVO�ÅVITTa�ILUQ\-ting to all his shortcomings and shortcuts throughout his well-publicized career has been one which seems to embody the entirety of human emotion.

Armstrong has not been one to shy away from controversy and confron-tation as he made his way to the top of the cycling world and his inevitable crash back to mortality. He has done amazing things to work to save the lives of those who suffer from cancer and he has attempted to destroy the lives of those who did little more than tell the truth about who he was when he wasn’t in front of a microphone or television camera.

So the question then becomes: who is the real Lance Armstrong?

Is he the guy who wanted so badly to help the people who could not help themselves, or is he the guy who wanted to bring down people who were correct in their asser-tions of Armstrong being a cheater and a liar? It seems these two personal philosophies cannot exist within the same person, can they?

Maybe reaction wouldn’t be so varied, but his interview with Oprah did very little to set himself apart from the guy who worked diligently to destroy innocent people. He said what he needed to say and was almost convincing with most of it. It wasn’t clear what his level of self-recognition is at this point. He knows what he did and it seems he knows it was wrong

and he did a lot of dam-age to a lot of people, but it didn’t seem that he was to a point where he felt sincerely sorrowful for all of his actions.

Questions being IV[_MZML�Ja�ÅZ[\�Y]ITQNa-ing his actions and then saying he realizes what he did was wrong is no way to apologize for anything. It quickly becomes noth-ing more than a way to explain his reasons for why he did what he did. There was still a hint (in the same way an answer to a question is a hint) of indignation and arrogance sticking to most of the words which seemed to hang in the air after his attempts to lend gravity to what he was saying.

This is not to say there weren’t moments where he seemed to fully understand what he had done. But those moments seemed to come when he was speak-ing about his family. Even someone as calculatingly controlling as Armstrong has some real emotions in there somewhere. Despite his best attempts, he was unsuccessful in transform-ing himself entirely into a robot.

The overall message he continues to portray is one of being sad he got caught. He even said to Oprah, if it wasn’t for his re-entry into the cycling world and a few hurt feelings of former teammates he wouldn’t be there talking with Oprah. If that isn’t one of the most telling moments of that interview I’m not sure what would be.

He admitted what he did was wrong. He admit-ted he was a “bully” and did some things which he regrets. But overall, is he really sorry? For some things, maybe. But he still has a long way to go to convince his doubters he fully realizes the extent of his actions and the wide-ZMIKPQVO�ZIUQÅKI\QWV[�WN �how he chose to live his life for many years.

What to do when your major is (still) ‘Undecided’

I bet most of us have experienced that internal KWVÆQK\�JM\_MMV�¹[IVQ\aº�and “passion” when you were prompted to write down your intended major on that college application form.

What to do when you know for sure you are a big J.K. Rowling fan and that English tempts you, but you’re not ready to give up statistics or biology yet either? Since you will not be bound by whatever answers you put on that application form, “Unde-KQLMLº�[W]VL[�ÅVM�

In fact, many students choose to declare an “Un-decided” major so they could have more time to explore their interests and strengths in college.

In Nov. 2012, Cecilia Capuzzi Simon of The New York Times wrote that students do not have the luxury to “stumble into a major or mak-ing mistakes,” given the skyrocketing tuition and college fees, one wrong choice means added se-mesters and extra dollars spent.

With about 200 majors and areas of emphasis at SCSU, students get to choose from a diz-zying number of pos-sibilities. From studio

arts to nuclear medicine technology, students could spend months to think about their real “passion” while keeping in mind what their “sanity” insists to echo: will that major really get you a job in this competitive market?

It’s OK to Double ‘em

Up

According to Simon, students “graduating with a double (or triple) major, minor or concentration as a way to hedge bets in an uncertain job market has become increasingly popular.”

When in doubt, stu-dents tend to take classes from all the departments of their interested ma-jor. While truly, students should consult their aca-demic advisers to discuss their degree route and the possibilities of double-counting some general requirements.

The number of bach-elor’s degrees awarded with double majors has grown 70% between 2001 and 2011, according to the US Department of Education.

Thus, considering both interests and real payoffs, majoring in more than one academic program seems to be the way to achieving the best of both worlds.

Here at SCSU, stu-dents who have earned a minimum of 150 se-UM[\MZ�KZMLQ\[�IVL�N]TÅTT�the requirements of the degrees pursued will be granted separate degrees. If the student has not achieved 150 credits prior

to graduation, he or she can choose the degree designation (Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Music, etc.) to be listed on the diploma.

It’s OK to Change

Majors

If you are a second-year student who is still “Undecided”, take my ad-vice, go ahead and declare I�UIRWZ�ÅZ[\�

Again, you are not re-ally bound by the depart-ment once you have de-clared a major with them. In fact, being an admitted major gives you the ad-vantage in course registra-tion. Many departments also keep their majors and minors on an email listserv where they send students information about intern-ships and post-graduation career opportunities.

And you won’t want to miss out on this sweet stuff.

You should know that it is alright to switch your major even after your second year. At Pennsylva-nia State University, 80% of incoming freshmen have no idea about what they want to major in, and half of them will change their minds after declaring a major, some more than once, wrote Simon.

The New York Times writer also pointed out that universities have vested interests in having students declare their ma-jors early in their college years, since retention rates among declared students are higher, and they are more likely to graduate in four years.

You will not be penal-ized for changing your major even after you’ve taken some senior level classes. Chances are, these classes can become elec-tives of your new major.

I personally have switched from broadcast journalism to advertising when I found out that cameras weren’t my strong suit. However, most classes I have done, including TV editing and journalistic reporting, have become some of my best skillsets today.

It’s OK to … Just Pick

One

Remember, you are among the 1.65 million students who were con-ferred a bachelor’s degree (based on 2009-10 Insti-tute of Education Sciences statistics). You are, only by very little means, labeled by the degree that you chose in college.

<W�ZMÆMK\�\PM�K]ZZMV\�marketplace trends and student demand, universi-ties around the nation are tweaking their offerings; some quirkier additions, listed by Simon, are culin-ology (culinary science), casino management, computational biology, in-ternational policy analysis, and fashion studies.

Employers are look-ing for transferrable skills, said Mary Beth Collier, dean of academic advising at SUNY New Paltz. No matter what your degree is in, you should come off KWTTMOM�_Q\P�XZWÅKQMVKa�QV�problem solving, working in teams, writing and com-municating effectively, and thinking critically.

In my humble opinion, an academic degree helps get your feet into the door; your attitude and intellec-tual engagement deter-mine your success.

It might be silly to say, but just follow your

heart. In the end, it is your passion that drives you to accomplish your dreams.

“Four years from now,” said Michele Campagna, executive director of the Center for Advising and Student Transitions at Montclair State Univer-sity, “freshmen will be ap-plying for jobs that don’t even exist today.”

So, if you are among those who are still “Unde-cided”, make it a goal to declare one (or more) this semester. And while doing so, let your sanity serve your passion.

Last Thursday night the Atwood Quarry was full to burst with dozens of students waiting to hear from co-median Michael Palascak. Originally from the Midwest, Palascak made his big debut on “The Late Show with David Letterman”, which led to numerous other television appearances on programs such as “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson”. From there he went on to become the winner of HBO’s “Lucky 21” stand-up contest and Comedy Central’s Chicago region “Open Mic Fight”, which led to an appearance on “Live at Gotham”.

Palascak made a joke about sticking a sock in a child’s mouth while hold-ing them at knifepoint. As the joke landed, the audience let out a mixture of audible groans, as well as seemingly forced laughter. Though most of the crowd stayed for the whole perfor-UIVKM��[TW_Ta�XMWXTM�JMOIV�\W�ÅT\MZ�out about twenty minutes into his set as joke after joke sounded more like amateur night.

As the show went on, Palascak eventually regained his stride and managed to regain audience inter-est, despite a dip into the waters of lackluster comedy. “I thought he was hilarious,” said stand-up fan Andrew Johnson. “Really funny guy.”

While the show was a far cry from \PM�KWUQKIT�[\aTQVO[�WN �2QU�/INÅOIV��:WLVMa�,IVOMZÅMTL�WZ�IVa�W\PMZ�JQO�name, the University Programming Board made a good choice in picking Michael Palascak to perform.

The hip-hop show in the Quarry Thursday night, featur-ing Ecid and No Bird Sing had its ups and downs, but overall the performances were good (besides a few technical issues).

The concert started at 7:30 X�U��_Q\P�I�KZW_L�WN �ZW]OPTa�ÅN\a��Ecid, who is a one-man rap show, XMZNWZUML�ÅZ[\��6W\�WVTa�_I[�PM�a solo rapper, but he also made some of his own beats during his songs using a mix table. The beats to his songs were catchy and he was pretty interactive with the crowd, although for the most part it was tough to hear what the lyr-ics to his raps were.

Ruth Milks, a senior and a part of UPB said, “He’s really good, I didn’t really know what to expect. The audio could be a little better though.”

The enclosed area of the 9]IZZa�UILM�Q\�LQNÅK]T\�\W�[WUM-times understand what Ecid’s lyrics were in his songs, the speak-

ers were overpowering his voice. He liked to get as involved with the crowd as possible, sometimes stepping off the stage, walking into the crowd and rapping. He seemed to thrive the more the crowd got into it. Overall he was pretty entertaining, although the speakers overpowering his vocals were annoying.

No Bird Sing came on af-ter Ecid. They are a trio with a guitarist, a drummer, and a front man rapping. The beats from the drums were basic, but steady and executed well. The same could be said for the guitarist as well. Their front man who was rapping sang his raps pretty well, but I felt like the sound of the drums and guitar overpowered his vocals.

The rapper would sometimes step off the stage, getting the crowd involved with his rap, but sometimes he would turn his back completely to the crowd and con-tinue to rap. I felt like it was kind of awkward whenever he would do this, and took away from the [WVO[�ÆW_�

Friday In what may have been the most excit-

The Huskies did make an exciting come-back however, led by guards Shaun Jensen and Damarius Cruz, who both had 18 points. SCSU tied the game late in the second half, but wouldn’t be able to hold on.

Cruz and Jensen were 7 of 10 from the ÅMTL��+Z]b�PIL�\PM�PW\�PIVL�NZWU�JMaWVL�\PM�arc, nailing 4 of 6 three point baskets, many of which came during SCSU’s rally.

“This was a tough game, I think it shows how much heart our team has too with how we fought back in the second half,” said Cruz. “Their is always adversity in these types of games, we just gotta come back and get a win tomorrow.”

The Mavs proved to be as dominant as \PM�ZIVSQVO[�QVLQKI\ML��ITT�[\IZ\MZ[�ÅVQ[PML�QV�double digits and SCSU’s Theo Rothstein was VM^MZ�IJTM�\W�ÅVL�PQ[�OZWW^M�\PIVS[�\W�I�[\W]\�Mavericks defense.

Everybody has good players, some nights it’s not gonna work for you, but if you can compete, you can give yourself a chance, and I thought we did that tonight.”

After freshman Jordan Poydras nailed a three to tie the game, the Mavs would close out. A three by Mavs guard Zach Monaghan and a jumper by Assem Marei put MSU up 74-69 with 2:09 to play.

Cruz and Jensen would try to make it excit-ing after that, Cruz nailed a layup and Jensen made four more free-throws, but it wouldn’t be MVW]OP�JMNWZM�\PM�ÅVIT�J]bbMZ�[W]VLML�

The Mavericks are not on the Huskies remaining schedule, but a chance at a re-match in the playoffs is a very real possibility.

“They aren’t on our schedule right now, so that means we’ll have to meet in the postsea-son,” Schlagel said with a smile after the game.

In a huge team effort, the lady Huskies took down NSIC rival Minnesota State Maver-icks 69-65 in what turned out to be quite a game at Halen-beck Hall.

The win improved SCSU’s record to 12-3 overall and 8-3 in conference play. With the loss MSU falls to 11-4, 7-4.

In a game where four play-ers ended in double digits for points, the Huskies still had to ÅOP\�PIZL�\W�KWUM�W]\�WV�\WX�

“We know we are good free throw shooters, we just got \W�OW�W]\�\PMZM�_Q\P�KWVÅ-dence,” said head coach Lori Fish after the game.

Benson, along with senior forward Morgan Lof would have to work hard to stop a dynamic Mavericks offense led by guard Aubrey Davis. Davis, _PW�_W]TL�ÅVQ[P�_Q\P��points, struggled to get close to the hoop for the better part of the game.

The Huskies would eventu-ally grow their lead to 11 points and the score would be 65-54, but a furious comeback in the last minute of the game, led by Davis of the Mavericks, would bring Mankato within two, 67-65.

The Golden Bears (11-5, 9-3 NSIC) led the Huskies at halftime 39-27, but the open-ing minutes belonged to the Huskies. The Huskies went on a quick 10-0 run, fueled by sophomore Jessica Benson and her seven points. Benson

“Last two weeks we’ve been on the road and faced some stiff competition, just coming off the National Duels Championship. I was con-cerned that we would come in here and maybe be a little JQ\�ÆI\��J]\�1�\PQVS�_M�PIVLTML�the situation the best we could tonight,” Costanzo said after the duels.

Jensen matched the seventh ranked Pioneers on the scoreboard with his second and third goals of the season coming in the third period.

Denver came out slow and wasn’t able to get much going in the early minutes. Despite the Huskies domination, they were unable to push the puck past Denver goalie Juho Oikinuora.

The Huskies began to pour it on toward the end of the second period, which was capped off by a breakaway goal by Nic Dowd.

Dowd stripped the puck from a Pioneer defenseman and was off to the races. A slight

move to the forehand, a quick shift to the back-hand and all he had to do was slide the puck into the open net to put the Huskies up one with a just over a minute and a half left.

It didn’t take Denver much time to tie the game once the third period got under way. Just three minutes into the period, the teams were tied at two. That is where the scoring would end for the Pioneers.

The Huskies drew a penalty with just under six minutes gone in the period, but were unable to generate any legitimate scoring chances.
