The No. 15/13 Sun Devils enter 2019 off of a mixed effort opposing two ranked teams in last weekend’s Desert Hockey Classic. With a shutout loss to Clarkson, 3-0, and then a 2-2 tie and moral shootout victory against Minnesota State, ASU’s record adjusted to 14-7-1 on the season.
Sophomore Johnny Walker was the late-game savior for the Sun Devils on Saturday when the nation’s leading-goal scorer tallied his 18th of the year to tie things up with just 29 seconds left in the contest.
Walker’s clutch factor has been a vital part to ASU’s recent success in just its third crack at a full NCAA schedule.
