Illini 8 - St. Louis 0  
     

Champaign, IL - It's hard to believe that the Illini could improve on Friday night's performance, but they did, putting more shots on goal, putting more points on the board, and keeping the Billikens out of the net. Junior Tom Connell had the hot hand netting three goals in the game for the hat-trick, while Illini netminders DJ Kohler and Nick Pecoraro were solid between the pipes. The Illini grabbed 4 more league points and moved into first place in the CSCHL with 24.

Sophomore Matt Jennings started the scoring drive just under eight minutes into the first period, sending a shot from Andy Betourne into the Saint Louis net at the 7:48 mark, with junior Jordan Pringle assisting on the first Illini goal. A minute and ten seconds later Tom Connell would fire a shot from the circle that even the SLU goaltender though was in his glove, only to find out it was in the goal for the second score of the period. Sophomore Brad Hoelzer earned the lone assist on the goal at 8:58. Tom Connell would strike for a second time before the period would end, sending another shot from inside the circle to the far top corner of the net, giving the Illini a 3-0 lead at 18:28, Captain Drew Heredia getting the helper on the goal.

Drew Heredia would be the one netting the goal at the 14:10 point in the second period, picking up a rebound around the net and putting it past the Billiken's Spiller, Daniel Cohen getting the assist. A minute later the Illini would be given a power play opportunity, and at the 16:45 mark Jordan Pringle would pass the puck from behind the net to senior Nick Fabbrini in front for the one timer into the St. Louis net. The Illini sent a total of 18 shots towards the Billikens net compared to St. Louis' 6.

It didn't take the Illini long to extend their 5 goal lead even further as senior Alex Park fire a slap shot from the point that would find the back of the St. Louis net just 25 seconds into the period. Helping set up the power play goal was Daniel Cohen. At the 7:11 mark in the period Tom Connell would net his hat trick goal, with a shot from the side of the net, Drew Heredia getting the assist. Junior Pat Saliba would top off the Illini scoring with a shot from just inside the circle that would go over the SLU goaltenders glove, Jordan Pringle assisting. The Illini would sweep the Billikens, winning the second game 8-0.

The Illini add another win to their total, now at 13-0-0. The Illini will now get a three week break before returning to action against Western Michigan.
