Cyclones Keep Tempo Rolling with 6-3 Win

Iowa State sweep Michigan-Dearborn in exciting home series

 Jan. 16, 2009 – Ames, Iowa – Iowa State faced off against Michigan-Dearborn in the second game of this weekend’s series at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena. The Cyclones took part in a double header with the puck dropping at 8:10 p.m. In Friday’s match-up, Iowa State came back in the final minute to take the 5-4 win.

 Both teams shot out of the gates playing aggressive end to end hockey during the first period. Iowa State took advantage of the power play opportunity at 12:49 with a highlight reel slap shot by defenseman Brent Cornelius (Fairbanks, Alaska) assisted by Justin Wilkinson (Prince Albert, SK, CAN). The momentum shifted in the Wolves’ favor after a questionable game ejection of a Cyclone defenseman. Dearborn was able to respond on the resulting power play to knot the score at one late in the first. Iowa State’s goaltender, Erik Hudson (Spokane, Wash.), turned away 10 of 11 Dearborn shots on goal and the period concluded with an even score of 1-1.

 The Cyclones took control early in the second stanza with a goal just 1:24 in. An unassisted Brandon Clark (Spokane, Wash.) skated the puck into Dearborn territory and beat the Wolves’ netminder to regain the lead for the Cyclones. The Wolves answered mid-period with a goal of their own to even the score. Iowa State would take a two goal lead when Chris Mackay (Houston, Texas) and Derek Behrman (Consul, SK, CAN) scored just over a minute apart. Iowa State’s special teams were also successful in killing all three Dearborn power play opportunities. In net, Hudson stopped 10 of 11 Michigan-Dearborn shots on goal. The Cyclones carried a 4-2 lead into third.

 Both teams continued the back and forth rhythm into the third and final period. At 12:40 the Cyclones would advance their lead when David Kurbatsky (San Ramon, Calif.) deflected a Pat Condon (Rochester, Minn.) slap shot between the pipes. Jordan Pascale (Aurora, Colo.) provided the cross-ice feed for the second assist on the goal. In the final minute of play the Wolves’ pulled their goalie and offered an open net to the Cyclone offense. Mike Lebler (Penticton, BC, CAN) capitalized and scored the final goal of the match-up. Iowa State took the sweep with a final score of 6-3.

 With the win, Iowa State advances their regular season record to 20-8-3. Next weekend the Cyclones travel to Champaign, Ill. to face off against the Fighting Illini and will be back at home to take on Eastern Michigan University Jan. 29 and 30.

Cyclones Come Back in Final Minute to Win 5-4

Pete Majkozak completes hat trick with game winning goal

 Jan. 15, 2009 – Ames, Iowa – The Cyclones faced off against the Wolves of the University of Michigan-Dearborn Friday night at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena. This is Iowa State’s premier home series of 2010.

 The first period saw aggressive play between the Cyclones and Wolves. Michigan-Dearborn would jump to an early lead less than a minute in. Iowa State’s offense would show signs of life mid-period with a flurry of opportunities in Dearborn territory. Although they were unable to capitalize, the Cyclones out-shot the Wolves 16 to six. Paul Karus (Brookfield, Wis.) had a rocky start in goal for Iowa State stopping four of six Dearborn shots on goal. The opening period concluded with the Wolves leading 2-0.

 The Iowa State offense proved to be more productive in the second stanza. With added pressure around the Dearborn net, the Cyclones were able to take advantage of two scoring opportunities. The first came at 12:02 when David Kurbatsky (San Ramon, Calif.) found the back of the net on a give and go from Mike Lebler (Penticton, BC, CAN) and Chris Mackay (Houston, Texas).

 Just 66 seconds later the Cyclones would knot the score when the versatile defender, Nick Larsen (Rosemount, Minn.), connected with Pete Majkozak (White Bear Lake, Minn.) and Lebler. Michigan-Dearborn would quickly retaliate and take the lead once again. Erik Hudson (Spokane, Wash.) entered the game in place of Karus at the beginning of the period and would turn away nine of 10 shots on goal. The Cyclones were able to out shoot the Wolves 12 to 10 but were unable to find the back of the net in the final minutes of the period. The score would remain in Michigan-Dearborn’s favor 3-2.

 It continued to be a back and forth game into the third period. The Cyclones tenacity would show they were definitely not out of this game. With the momentum turned in their favor, the Cyclones offense stepped up and created scoring opportunities. Majkozak would be the Cyclones’ saving grace scoring three consecutive goals to complete his hat trick and win the game.

 The win advances the Cyclones’ regular season record to 19-8-3. Iowa State will take on Michigan-Dearborn in game two of the series Saturday at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena. The men and women Cyclones will be playing in a double header with the women’s game starting at 6:30 p.m. and the men taking the ice at 8:10 p.m. For all Cyclone Hockey action, visit www.cyclonehockey.com.
