ANCHORAGE – The Alaska Anchorage Seawolves collected the Western Collegiate Hockey Association series sweep Saturday, with a 6-1 defeat of visiting Alabama Huntsville at the Sullivan Arena.
The Seawolves (5-3-0, 2-2-0 WCHA) used a school-record four power-play goals in the third period for their second league win of the season. UAA dispatched the Chargers (0-8-0, 0-6-0 WCHA) – who scored the first tally of the night – 3-1 on Friday for its first sweep at home since Feb. 4-5, 2011 vs. Michigan Tech.
UAA received goals from six different players – including junior forward Kory Roy, who netted his first collegiate tally. Four players posted multi-point games, including a three-point game from junior Scott Allen (1-2—3). Furnishing two points tonight were senior Jordan Kwas (0-2—2), junior Brett Cameron (1-1—2) and sophomore Blake Tatchell (0-2—2).
Dressing in his second straight game between the pipes was senior Rob Gunderson. After collecting the win last night, Gunderson stopped 18 shots, improving to 3-2-0 on the season. Matt Larose (0-4-0) posted 22 saves.
