The Michigan hockey team broke open a tie-game with a three-goal third period to earn a 5-2 win over Michigan State Friday night to complete a two-game weekend sweep.

The win snapped a four-game winless streak at Michigan State's Munn Ice Arena, stretching back to March 2010.

DeBlois and Compher both finished with two goals on the game.

Goalie Zach Nagelvoort kept the Spartans off the scoreboard for the final 27 minutes of the game and finished with 30 saves to go to 8-5-1 on the year in net.
