BIG RAPIDS, Minn. -- St. Thomas is playing .500 ball -- against Ferris State -- thanks to John Schuldt's game-winning goal with 3 seconds left on Saturday, Jan. 15, at Ewigleben Ice Arena.
The Tommies, in their inaugural season as a Division I program, went into Saturday night's CCHA game against the Bulldogs, owning a 1-22 record. With a 4-3 win -- despite being outshot 41-16 -- the Tommies split their season series with Ferris.
The win was also the 400th career victory for head coach Rico Blasi, who formerly coached at Miami.
