MARQUETTE, Mich. - Lake Superior State Univeristy finished eighth in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association regular-season standings following Saturday's 3-0 victory at Northern Michigan. The Lakers will host Bowling Green State in the First Round of CCHA Playoffs March 8-10.

The Lakers (16-19-1 overall, 11-16-1-1 CCHA) tallied four short-handed goals during the series split with NMU at the Berry Events Center. All three goals Saturday were short-handed markers.

Sophomore forward Stephen Perfetto (6-7--13) tallied the game-winning goal at 2:37 of the second period. LSSU's second short-handed goal came at 16:18 of the third from junior forward Kellan (8-7--15).
