LAKE SUPERIOR STATE DEFEATS MICHIGAN TECH, 6-3, TO CLAIM GREAT LAKES INVITATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Lake Superior State claimed their first MacInnes Cup with a 6-3 win over Michigan Tech on Monday in the Championship Game of the 54th annual Great Lakes Invitational in front of 12,117 college hockey fans at the award-winning Little Caesars Arena in The District Detroit. Earlier in the day, Michigan and Michigan State skated to a 2-2 tie in the Third Place Game.

The Lakers claimed their first GLI Championship in their fourth tournament appearance and became the third-straight GLI special invitee to win the MacInnes Cup (Bowling Green, 2018; Western Michigan, 2016). Senior forward Diego Cuglietta tallied a pair of goals in Monday’s 6-3 victory en route to being named the Tournament MVP. Lake Superior State jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period, but the Huskies climbed back to make it a 2-2 game early in the middle frame. The Lakers went on to rattle off four of the next five goals to claim the MacInnes Cup in the all-Upper Peninsula and WCHA battle. Senior goaltender Nick Kossoff made 18 saves in the win to secure a place on the All-Tournament Team.

In a penalty-riddled affair that featured 22 combined infractions, the Spartans and Wolverines played to a 2-2 tie in the first game of the day. Michigan State freshman forward Wojciech Stachowiak tallied his third goal of the tournament to open the scoring with a power-play goal at 14:45 of the first period. The two teams exchanged goals late in the first period and the Spartans took a 2-1 lead into the first intermission, despite being outshot 23-7. The two teams skated to a scoreless second period before Michigan junior forward Nick Pastujov tallied his 10th goal of the season at 1:15 of the third period on the power play. Neither team could find the game winner in the third period or in overtime, as the game concluded as a 2-2 tie.
