Minn. Duluth Rolls Over Bemidji St. 6-2

DULUTH, Minn. (AP) -- Jack Connolly had a goal and two assists to help Minnesota Duluth beat Bemidji State 6-2 in a Western Collegiate Hockey Association game on Friday.

Connolly was one of 10 players to score points for the Bulldogs (3-3-1, 1-2-0), who picked up their first WCHA win of the season.

Bemidji State (3-4-0, 2-3-0) scored the first two goals of the game by Jordan George and Brad Hunt. Hunt's goal gave the Beavers a 2-0 lead at 7:26 of the first period. Bemidji's two goals came on just five shots in the first period.
It was all UMD after that.

Keegan Flaherty's goal midway through the second period proved to be the game-winner.
