The Dordt Defender hockey team won its 20^th decision of the season with a 4-3 win over the Creighton Blue Jays on Friday night, January 23 at the Vernon Arena in Sioux Center.

Dordt never trailed with Isaac Baart scoring with 10:29 left in the first period off an assist by Tyler Welsh.   Creighton answered with a goal early in the second period on a power play.

Zach Espenson unlocked the tie with a slapshot at the 12:13 mark of the second period with Rylan Veenstra assisting on the power play goal.

The lead stood until Creighton scored with 18:52 remaining in the game.  Dordt came back with back to back goals less than a minute apart with Reuben Horneman and Mason Spejcher at the 6:46 and 5:55 mark. A Creighton goal with 5:26 left made it interesting and Creighton pulled their goalie moments later but Dordt withstood the man advantage to hang on.

Dordt outshot the Blue Jays 50-35 and Isaiah Van Noord got the win in goal with 32 saves.

Dordt is 20-3.

Dordt is back at home for two games next week against Missouri with a 7pm start on Friday and a 1pm puck drop on Saturday.
