MILWAUKEE, Wis. - The #10 team in men's Division III hockey picked up their 20th win of the season by defeating the Milwaukee School of Engineering by a 5-0 margin on Saturday afternoon.

In an afternoon where the Bulldogs scored in spurts, Brad Houston continued his strong offense on the weekend, netting what proved to be the game-winner with 2:19 left in the first period. Not long after Houston's goal, Chris Stansik scored a diving shot on a power-play to quickly push the lead to 2-0 in favor of the Bulldogs.

Stansik added his second goal of the game midway through the second period for the only goal of the second frame to push the lead to three.

After killing off two 5-on-3 opportunities midway through the third period, the Bulldogs struck in succession again. Adam Krug netted a power-play goal with 8:44 to give the Bulldogs the 4-0 margin. Less than thirty seconds later, Houston scored his second goal of the contest and the final Bulldog goal of the game, giving the visitors the 5-0 win in Milwaukee.

Brad Fogal (16-2-0) had a solid game in net, notching 33 saves with 19 stops in the third period alone for his third shut-out victory of the year. It is the first time the Bulldogs have had a shut-out win on the road.
