Senior captain Aaron Bogosian scored two goals and Robby Moss made 23 saves for his second win of the season as St. Lawrence University's hockey team completed a weekend sweep to begin a stretch of eight straight road games with a 5-2 win at Sacred Heart on Monday night.

St. Lawrence improves to 6-8-3 on the season heading into the resumption of ECAC completion at Union and Rensselaer on Friday and Saturday. The Saints have now won three straight and four of their last five.

"It was an excellent weekend for us in a lot of ways," said Saint coach Joe Marsh. "We were able to play some guys who haven't seen as much action tonight, and you need to do that to maintain depth for the stretch run. And with a little win streak going, I think it helps from a confidence standpoint heading into what will be a couple of real tough road games to restart league play."      

The Saints broke on top 12:45 into a fairly even first period when sophomore Mac Stratford scored his first goal of the season, and his first as a forward after playing defense through all of his rookie season. George Hughes started the scoring play with a hard shot from the point which Sacred Heart goalie Steven Legatto kicked out, but Stratford picked up the rebound, waited until Legatto committed himself and then lifted his shot over the sprawling goalie and under the crossbar.

The Pioneers came back to tie with a five-on-three power play at 19:03 of the first period as Reid McLeod shot from the short slot, putting the puck over Robby Moss' outstretched pad off a setup by Matt Gingera.    

The Saints dominated the second period, outshooting the Pioneers by a large margin and pushing their lead to 3-1 with a pair of goals including the first shorthander of the year.

Sophomore defenseman Matt Dyer scored the first goal of the period with the Saints on a power play, as he crashed the net and redirected a shot by Sean Flanagan past Legatto at  3:55 with Jared Keller also assisting.  Bogosian scored his second goal of the weekend on a shorthanded two-on-one at 8:13, beating Legatto under the crossbar with a rocket from the faceoff dot after Kyle Flanagan sent him away. The margin could have been even larger, but Legatto made some big saves among his 14 for the period and a couple of other grade "A" chances just missed.

Freshman Riley Austin gave the Saints a 4-1 lead 5:43 into the third period as the rookie defenseman took a pass from classmate Nic Vangog and snapped a wrist shot past Legatto as he was falling for his first collegiate goal with Keller also assisting. The Pioneers countered with a shorthanded goal as Ben Ketchum finished off a two-on-one break with his second of the season from Eric Delong at 14:03, but Bogosian  wrapped things up with his second of the night into an empty net at 17:49 as Greg Carey worked the puck out of the defensive zone with an extra attacker on for the Pioneers and sent Bogosian in alone for his third of the weekend and fifth of the season.

Leggato finished with 30 saves for Sacred Heart as the Saints had a 35-25 edge in shots on goal.
