Coming off a 6-4 loss in game, on Marquette’s home ice, Marian University was back in a familiar setting, Blue Line Family Ice Center, for game two. Each team would have a power play opportunity over the first half of the opening period, but neither were able to convert. Then, at the 14:33 mark, Tyler Studant, assisted by Gavyn Galloway, put the home team on the board. Ninety seconds later, Wyatt Dobson, assisted by Frank Shediac and Mac Ryan, tied the game for Marquette. Marquette would go up by one with 47 seconds left before the first intermission when Chase Breslin found the back of the net, credited with an assist was Chris Meininger.

 

Armed with a 2-1 lead to start the second period Marquette hit the gas. Over the first six minutes the Marquette powerplay lit the lamp three times. Kicking things off was Jack Rose, 52 seconds into the period, with assists by Breslin and Gunnar Leary. Rose also notched the second powerplay goal, this one coming 1:51 later, credited with an assist was Breslin. Michael Helm put away the third powerplay goal at 5:42, unassisted. Down 5-1, Galloway found the back of the net to stop the bleeding for Marian at the 8:43 mark. After four goals were scored in the first nine minutes of the period it would take almost nine more before the next goal was scored. Putting the game’s eighth puck in the net was Sam Jablonsky, assisted by Helm and Matt McKenna, to put Marquette back up by four.

 

Galloway tallied his second goal of the game at the 10:20 mark of the third period, assisted by Simon Ellingson and Tyler Studant, to make the score 6-3 in favor of Marquette. Dodson would score his second goal of the game at almost the same point in the third period, 16:08 as he did in the first period 16:03, credited with an assist was Ryan. Marian kept up the pressure and Devon Butler tickled the twine at the 18:55 mark, assisted by Serge Simard. However, they could get no closer and Marquette finished off the series sweep with a 7-4 victory.

 

Earning the victory was Daniel Leger, stopping 46 of Marian’s 50 shots on goal. In a losing effort, Matt Bilsborough turned away 41 of the 48 shots he faced.
