Wausau – The Wausau RiverWolves took on the Milwaukee Power from Ozaukee Ice Arena on Friday night in a NA3HL Central Division contest. Wausau was playing with a heavy heart after the passing of RiverWolves Co-Owner Teri Woodhull this past Sunday.
Wausau got on the board first at 14:59 mark of the first period with a breakaway goal by forward Nolan Gifford. It was Gifford’s first goal since an October 24th goal versus the Power. Milwaukee answered Wausau’s goal at 1:58 of the 2nd period after a goal by Power forward Brady Rossbach. After two periods of play the score was locked at two apiece.
The RiverWolves saved their best for the final period on the night, which saw Wausau notch four goals. Forward Ben Cremers got the offense going by putting Wausau up 2-1at 3:06 of the period, as he put it past the outreached glove of Power goaltender Ewan Mcdevitt. Issac Wickersheim, Kasey Couture and Pavel Bakhtin each added goals for additional insurance as Wausau cruised to a 5-1 win.
Caleb Sauer picked up the win in net for Wausau. He stopped 40 of 41shots on the evening. Ewan Mcdevitt took the loss for Milwaukee.
