Almquist scored the first goal of the game at 5:21 of the first period and the last goal of the game at 16:57 of the third period, with his second goal coming at 5:48 of the second period.

UAA led 3-1 after the first period and 7-2 after the second period.

Riley Thompson scored two goals, included one short-handed, and one assist, and Maximilion Helgeson finished with three assists.

Karter McNarland and Porter Schachle each added two assists.

The Seawolves had eight more players record a single point in the contest.

UAA doubled up SC in shots 44-22, and both teams finished 0-for-4 on the powerplay.

Jared Whale finished with 19 saves for UAA.

Alaska Anchorage (13-16-2) and Stonehill (2-31-0) will close out the weekend series Saturday at 3 pm.
