The Seawolves (3-15-5, 1-14-4 WCHA) were able to cut the lead in half with one minute remaining in the second with junior Jordan Kwas' seventh of the season and third point of the weekend. Kwas, who also furnished two assists on Friday evening, tipped in a shot from junior Quinn Sproule. Registering the second assist on the power-play strike was junior Matt Bailey.
