Bischel returns to home state and comes up big as No. 17 Irish beat No. 6 Minnesota, 4-2

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – No. 17 Notre Dame once again got a big night from graduate goaltender Ryan Bischel in the second period when the Irish were outshot 17-2, and four different players scored as the Irish skated to a 4-2 Big Ten Conference victory over No. 6 Minnesota Friday night in the 3M Arena at Mariucci.

Drew Bavaro scored the game-winning goal, his fourth of the season, when he beat Minnesota goaltender Justen Close at 3:30 of the third period. Then Irish captain and South Bend native Landon Slaggert scored an empty-net goal at 19:33 to assure the victory for coach Jeff Jackson’s team, which improved to 7-3-2 overall and 3-0-2 in the Big Ten, good for 12 points to tie Wisconsin for second place, a point behind league-leader Michigan State.

Also scoring for the Irish were Patrick Moynihan and Grant Silianoff.

“Ryan plays well no matter where we play,” Jackson said of Bischel, a native of nearby Medina, Minn., who made 16 of his 32 saves in the game in the second period. “It’s a matter of everyone contributing.

Bischel, a West All-American last season, was at his best from the start as Notre Dame killed off a 5-on-3 power-play advantage which lasted 1:39 of the first five minutes of the game.

After the Gophers took a 1-0 lead at 10:10 of the first period on a goal by Rhett Pitlick, the Irish answered just under two minutes later when Silianoff, who hails from nearby Edina, scored at 12:08 with a backhanded assist from freshman linemate Brennan Ali.

The Irish went up 2-1 just 47 seconds into the second period when Moynihan, a grad-transfer right wing from Providence, scored his third goal in the last two games on a wraparound with an assist from Minnesota native Justin Janicke, who hails from nearby Maple Grove. It would be just one of two shots on net for the Irish in the period. The only one of 17 shots directed at Bischel in the middle session that he didn’t save was Jimmy Snuggerud’s eighth goal of the season on a power play with 18:39.

Bavaro put the Irish into the lead for good with assists from Moynihan and Slaggert early in the third period. Then Ryan Siedem and Danny Nelson, who along with brother Henry also hail from Maple Grove, assisted on Slaggert’s empty-net goal, his team-high ninth of the season.

The two teams conclude their series Saturday night at 8.

Bongokuhle Hlongwane scores 2 goals, Minnesota beats Earthquakes 2-1

Associated Press

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Bongokuhle Hlongwane scored two goals, his first multi-goal game this season, to help Minnesota United beat the San Jose Earthquakes 2-1 Saturday night.

Hlongwane redirected a long throw-in by Joseph Rosales that was parried by goalkeeper Daniel De Sousa Britto — known simply as “Daniel” — and bounced off the crossbar. Hlongwane was the for his own rebound but his putback attempt was stopped by defender Vítor Costa de Brito, but this time, Hlongwane was able to find the back of the net to make it 2-1 in the 64th minute.

Minnesota (10-11-6) has just two wins since a 3-1 victory over Sporting Kansas City on June 1, a span of 12 games, and both victories have come against the Earthquakes.

San Jose (5-20-2), which beat Real Salt Lake 2-0 last time out, has lost four of its last five games.

Robin Lod, from just outside the penalty area played a ball that led Hlongwane to the corner of the 6-yard box, where the 24-year-old forward slipped a one-touch shot through the legs of Daniel into the net to make it 1-0 in the ninth minute.

San Jose’s Ousseni Bouda, a 24-year-old in his third MLS season, scored his second career goal and first this season to make it 1-1 in the 33rd.

Residents say crypt-no to crypto mining facility in small town Minnesota

Residents say crypt-no to crypto mining facility in small town Minnesota

Jeff St. Onge, senior operations manager at Revolve Labs, said Thursday the company has gone to great lengths to prevent noise pollution at the proposed Windom location. The company plans to install 12-foot-tall berms along the property and an alarm system where residents can monitor decibels levels coming from the fans. He said the closest residents will experience sound levels of 41 decibels, similar to current levels there.

St. Onge said the facility would not affect energy prices for Windom residents and that the company chose the area due to its cool weather, good energy rates and proximity to wind farms.

Most of the 100 residents at Thursday’s public hearing appeared skeptical about the company’s claims. The most common concern was noise.

“I like the quiet out there,” said Jay B Kipfer, who lives across the street from the site of the proposed facility. “I go out there at night, I hear the coyotes, I hear all the crickets. You guys come in there, I won’t hear that anymore. It’ll be a totally different life out there, for me and everybody else, and that sound is gonna resonate across Cottonwood Lake.”

Others spoke of the effect on home values, with some speakers questioning whether crypto mining benefits society.

The volume of the murmuring crowd at times reached a decibel level of about 70, according to Tiffany Lamb, Windom’s development director. At one point, Cottonwood County Commissioner Norm Holmen said he couldn’t hear a question because of a box fan blowing behind him.

Camden begins a new era with victory over Richfield in high school football

Camden begins a new era with victory over Richfield in high school football

While the game looked every bit like the first of the season, with its requisite mistakes and misplays, it was clear from the outset that Camden was the more focused bunch.

The Patriots — the school retained the nickname it had when it was Patrick Henry — moved the ball well, with senior quarterback Jadis Hartman scoring on a 14-yard run in the first quarter.

Hartman’s score was noted pridefully by announcer Marques Zackary as the “first touchdown in Camden history,” bringing cheers from the fans.

Hartman, playing quarterback for the first time in his career, added a 14-yard scoring pass to junior receiver Patrick Mix in the second quarter, giving Camden a 12-0 lead.

A safety — one of the few mistakes the Patriots made all evening — made the score 12-2 at halftime.

Richfield, mistake-prone before halftime, settled in the third quarter and started to make inroads on the Camden defense. But Hartman, playing with confidence and poise, daggered Richfield’s hopes for a comeback when he ran 71 yards down the left side for a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, making the score 18-2.
