Roseau's Huglen brothers power 4-1 win over East Grand Forks

Junior center Aaron Huglen and freshman wing Paul Huglen—top line brothers—proved to be too much for East Grand Forks on Tuesday night in a 4-1 win for the Rams at the Civic Center.

The elder Huglen has 13 goals on the season, but it was the younger brother who scored twice in the second period to give the Rams a cushion.

Paul now has six goals on the season and four have come in the last three games. He has a goal in each of the last three outings.

The game's first goal—at 11 minutes, 1 second of the second period—was Paul on a feed from Aaron.

"We started with those two together, then moved them apart and now put them back together," Roseau coach Andy Lundbohm said. "They've had a lot of chemistry."

The two brothers are playing in their first season as teammates.

"He's on a roll now," Aaron said of Paul. "He was a little shy right away. Now that he's in a groove, he's playing well. We think the same so it's easy to know where he's at."

Paul also is happy to be playing on the same line.

"It's really nice," he said. "We're always working together."

Nathan Adrian and Alex Verbout tacked on third period goals for the Rams, who scored the first four goals of the game before Coby Stauss prevented the shutout for the Green Wave.

Roseau improved to 8-6-0, while East Grand Forks dropped to 9-6-1.

"I thought our effort was good, but our execution was poor," Senior High coach Scott Koberinski said. "We gave up too many easy goals. That's a good team, though. They're physical and skate well."

The Wave were 0-for-3 on the power play and came up empty on two quick chances with the man advantage in the second period right before the Rams took the lead.

"Our power play has to be a lot better," Koberinski said. "We were out of sync and not doing things systematically like we had talked about."
