NOTRE DAME, Ind. - The Bowling Green State University hockey team dropped a tight 3-2 decision Friday night at the Joyce Center in Notre Dame, Ind., to the host Fighting Irish.
Notre Dame opened the scoring late into the first. With Tyler Knight in the penalty box for charging and Ryan Wetterberg just stepping back onto the ice after serving his own infraction, ND's Connor Dunlop put the puck past BG goalie Tyler Masters. Rob Globke and Dan Carlson helped set up Dunlop's power-play goal, his fifth score on the year, at 19:16.
Bowling Green would answer early in the second with a power-play marker of their own. While T.J. Mathieson served an obstruction hooking call, the Falcon power-play unit crashed the net and defenseman Marc Barlow successfully roofed a shot past Notre Dame netminder Tony Zasowski. Scott Hewson garnered an assist on the play for his first point on the night.
Approximately 12 minutes later, Globke reclaimed the one goal lead for the Fighting Irish with his 13th of the season.
The Falcon power play lit the lamp again to even things up at 5:35 of the third. Grady Moore passed the puck ahead to a breaking Ryan Murphy. Zasowski was able to stop Murphy's wrist shot, but Hewson was standing there to corral the rebound and bang it past the ND goaltender for his sixth marker of the season and second point of the contest.
Notre Dame's Globke scored his second of the night to put the Irish ahead for good. Globke's team-leading 14th of the campaign was set up by Neil Komadoski.
Tyler Masters' recorded 31 saves for Bowling Green, while Tony Zasowski stopped 35 shots for Notre Dame. The Falcon power play scored two goals in five opportunities, as Notre Dame was able to capitalize once on four chances. BG's record currently stands at 10-15-4 (5-12-4 CCHA) and Notre Dame improves to 7-21-5 (4-14-4 CCHA).
Bowling Green and Notre Dame square off again Saturday night at Joyce Arena. Faceoff is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
