Will Ingemann makes 29 saves on 31 shots in 2-0 loss

ST. PAUL, Minn. — St. Thomas men's hockey (4-5-0, 1-2-0 NCHC) went blow-for-blow with No. 8 North Dakota (6-3-1, 2-0-1) in its NCHC home opener Friday night at Lee & Penny Anderson Arena but fell 2-0. Will Ingemann continued his hot stretch in net with 29 saves on 31 shots, but the Tommies, who put 19 shots on the opposing net, could not get him any run support.

North Dakota took a 1-0 lead just 2:04 into the game. Ingemann then handled a series of North Dakota chances through the middle of the first period. The Tommies earned a power play with 5:37 remaining, and Nathan Pilling got a shot on goal before the advantage ended. The Fighting Hawks carried the 1-0 lead into intermission.

Ingemann and the Tommies' penalty kill handled early North Dakota pressure in the second period after Chase Cheslock was called for hooking less than four minutes in, with Cole Miller and Mason Poolman blocking shots during the advantage. Cheslock was sent off again for tripping with 75 seconds left, and the Tommies blocked or saved three North Dakota shots before the period ended without a goal.

North Dakota moved ahead 2-0 at 3:51 of the third period. St. Thomas had a power play shortly after, but North Dakota generated the two best chances of the sequence shorthanded, and Ingemann made two saves. The Tommies later created a series of chances that Jan Špunar turned aside. North Dakota continued to put shots on Ingemann through the closing minutes, and the Tommies pulled their goalie with 1:26 to go before earning another power play in the final minute. St. Thomas put five shots toward the net during the late six-on-four stretch, including saves by UND netminder Jan Špunar on Quinn Rudrud, Justin Kipkie and Lucas Van Vliet, but North Dakota closed out the 2-0 win.
