EAU CLAIRE, Wis. - Nick Stalock and Roger Trousdale each scored twice as the St. Olaf men's hockey team scored a 5-1 win over host UW-Eau Claire on Friday night.

Nick Krauss added a 38-save effort in net to go to 6-1-0 on the season.

Trousdale notched the team's first and final goals, each on assists from Bryan Osmondson and Dylan Mueller, as the Oles moved to 8-2-1 overall. His first goal came at the 18:43 mark of the first period.

Eighteen seconds later, the Blugolds tied the game at 1-1 on a tally from Nic Weight.

St. Olaf regained the lead on Osmondson's fifth goal of the year on a feed from David Adams at the 7:42 mark of the second.

Stalock scored back-to-back goals at 8:49 and 18:47 as a part of the Oles' three-goal second period.

The win was the Oles' first over UW-Eau Claire since 2006 and the largest margin of victory in the series since 1997.

St. Olaf plays another WIAC/NCHA foe tomorrow, a 7:30 p.m. bout at UW-Stevens Point.
