Junior goaltender Connor Toomey made 23 saves as the No. 12 Raiders beat Lawrence 2-0 Friday night in Appleton, Wis. For Toomey, it's his third shutout of the year and the sixth of his career. Junior forward Todd Krupa and sophomore forward Nick Gorup recorded MSOE's two goals on the night.
The scoring started when freshman forward Ben Lauder and sophomore forward Bradley Tierney set up Gorup at the 4:12 mark of the first period. Krupa extended the Raiders' lead in the second period with a goal assisted by sophomore forward Mike Pao and freshman forward West Bauman. MSOE came in as the best team in the country in penalty kill situations and held the Vikings with a power play goal in six opportunities.
MSOE (14-3-1, 11-1-1) hosts Lawrence Saturday at the Kern Center with the puck dropping at 3 p.m.
