The No. 14-ranked University of Oklahoma® Hockey club score four goals in both the first and third periods tonight on their way to a 9-2 victory over St. Cloud State University tonight before a crowd of 972 at the Blazers Ice Centre in Oklahoma City. Sooners forward John Leighty scored the first two goals for OU, at 1:15 and at 8:47 of the first period to put the Sooners up 2-0. St. Cloud State scored to make it a 2-1 game but forward Jake Krumm scored just over a minute later to make it 3-1.

Forward Kyle Allan scored at 6:13 and Force blasted a rocket of a shot into the net at 17:30 of the third to make tonight’s final score 9-2. Sooners goaltender Tom Schaul stopped 31 of 33 St. Cloud State shots he faced while his SCSU counterpart, Ethan Lyerly, stopped just 35 of the 44 OU shots he saw tonight.
