Arthur Brey made 18 saves Saturday and the Waterloo Black Hawks were held off the scoreboard for the first time this season during a 3-0 loss to the Dubuque Fighting Saints at Mystique Ice Center.

After 20 scoreless minutes, the Saints broke the seal on the net at 4:36 of the second period. Shane Sooth dropped a pass to Mike Szmatula, who snapped a wrist shot into the net during a power play.

Ten-and-a-half minutes into the third, Szmatula knocked in his second of the game on the rebound of a Niklas Nevalainen shot. Evan Janssen sealed the decision with just under seven minutes to play, scoring in similar fashion after an initial chance by Eric Freschi.
