The Saints represented St. Lawrence University, played their home games at the Appleton Arena and were coached by Brent Brekke in his 5th season.

Several good defensive performances in December and January allowed the Saints to win some of their conference games and climb into the middle of the standings.

The Larries had an outside chance at earning a bye into the conference quarterfinals but a minor slump from the back end caused that opportunity to slip by the wayside.

His stellar goaltending allowed Luc Salem to fire a bouncing puck from the blueline through a maze of bodies for the winning goal.

With the Saints now just one win from the NCAA tournament, St. Lawrence entered the game with Cornell looking for a major upset.

While Cornell was able to score in each period, St. Lawrence could only get a single marker in the third and saw their miracle run end just shy of a league championship and their first NCAA appearance since 2007.
