SAULT STE. MARIE - An Alabama-Huntsville hockey team playing in its ninth straight road game showed no signs of road weariness during Friday's 2-1 victory over Lake Superior State.

The Chargers (1-9-1) were out-shot 36-22, but quieted LSSU's second-period heroics and kept pace with the Lakers (5-6-0) during the third period.

LSSU sophomore Kelin Ainsworth forced a turnover in UAH's zone and scored an unassisted goal at 15:39 of the second period for a 1-0 Laker lead. It was Ainsworth's first collegiate goal.

Alabama-Huntsville took advantage of LSSU's inability to clear its zone and answered with a four-on-four goal by Justin Cseter at 18:22 of the second period, tying the game 1-1. Kyle Lysaght tallied the game-winner at 10:53 of the third period.

Lake Superior State finished 0-for-4 on the power play, while UAH was 0-for-3. LSSU goaltender Kevin Murdock dropped to 3-4-0 after totaling 20 saves and taking the loss. John Griggs (1-8-1) was the winning goalie with 35 saves.

LSSU and UAH meet at 7:05 p.m. Saturday at Taffy Abel Arena. Active-duty servicemen and veterans who can show proof of service will receive free admission to the game.
