OGDEN, Utah. – The University of Providence hockey program opened the Beehive Showcase with a 6-2 victory over #4 Weber State Thursday night.

The Argos (6-4) scored the first goal of the contest when senior Braden Bain dangled around the Weber State (8-8) defender to make it 1-0.  

The Wildcats would answer with 10 seconds left in the period when a rebound kicked out to a Weber State attacker and his wrist shot from the point tied the game at one.

UP would jump out in front to start the second period when a pass behind the net from freshman Jamal Kalaf found freshman Adam Husli whose backhand shot gave the Argos a 2-1 lead.

A minute later the Argos would score again on a two on one advantage when freshman AJ Belanger found senior Ty Alger to extend the UP lead to two.

Weber State would threaten halfway through the second period, but freshman Chris Fines would flash the leather with a glove save to deny the Wildcats.

The Argos would extend their lead to three when freshman Elliott Venini sent the puck in front of the net and senior Jakob Stevenson was able to push it past the goaltender.

Weber State would score to cut the lead to two, but Alger would score his second goal of the game when his wrist shot from the slot found the back of the net.

The Argos would add another goal with two minutes left in the game when Chavez Contant's slap shot increased the Argos lead to four. Despite Weber State threatening in the final two minutes, the Argo defense remained strong as UP won the game 6-2.
