Montana State University battled through a busy night at Haynes Pavilion, holding off the University of Providence Argonauts for a 5-4 victory Friday.

Ryan Flaherty led the Bobcats with two goals, while Callum Welch turned aside 49 of Providence’s 53 shots to help secure the win. The Argonauts generated plenty of pressure and went 1-for-3 on the power play, but Montana State found a way to stay in front. Providence goaltender Christopher Fines made 31 saves on 36 shots. The Bobcats finished 1-for-7 with the man advantage.

The teams meet again Saturday, Nov. 7, at 7:30 p.m. MST at Great Falls Ice Plex, where Montana State will visit the Argonauts.
