MARQUETTE, Mich. - The NMU hockey team dropped its penultimate home game of the season Friday night by a score of 3-0 to the St. Thomas Tommies. The Wildcats (5-25-1, 4-18-1 CCHA) had scored two or more goals in nine of its last eleven games, including the last four games straight, before Jake Sibell and the Tommies snapped its streak. St. Thomas (13-13-5, 10-9-4 CCHA) scored twice in the first period thanks to a pair of fortunate bounces before scoring late in the third on an empty net goal to seal the deal. Reigning CCHA Goaltender of the Week, St. Thomas senior netminder Jake Sibell, made all 21 saves on the evening, earning him his first career collegiate shutout. Hobey Baker Award nominee Liam Malmquist snapped his six-game point drought with a pair of assists, and Lucas Wahlin scored a goal and assist. The Wildcats went 2/2 on the penalty kill and were unsuccessful on its only man-advantage opportunity of the night. NMU now looks to tomorrow night, celebrating its seniors before puck-drop on the final home contest of 2024/25. Game time is 6:07 p.m. Listen on FM-100.3 in Marquette, FM-107.3 in Escanaba, and AM-1450 in Iron Mountain/Kingsford. |
