CANTON, New York - The Bowling Green State University hockey team dropped their sixth straight contest on Saturday night, this time with a 4-0 defeat at the hand of St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York.
The puck continued to bounce off sticks of Falcons' and directly onto the tape of the opposition, as the Falcons were shutout for the second straight night.
The perfect example was evident midway through the first period with the Falcons working with a man advantage. Junior Mike Nesdill fired a shot from the point and raised his hands in celebration, but the puck rang off the left post, leaving the game scoreless.
Just minutes later the puck bounces over the stick of senior Jeremy Bronson and the Saints snatch up a 1-0 lead at the 13:26 mark of the first.
SLU (7-4-0) added two more goals in the second and one last tally at 10:13 of the third for their 4-0 win.
Despite the 4-0 defeat sophomore Jimmy Spratt had arguably his best game as a Falcon. While facing 44 St. Lawrence shots, the Chesterfield, Michigan native made 40 saves, a career-high. His previous best was 36 in a 1-1 tie versus Notre Dame last year.
At the other end of the ice SLU's Kain Tisi denied all 24 BGSU shots as the Falcons went 0-for-9 with the man-advantage, for his first career shutout. The Saints went scoreless on two attempts with their power play.
The Falcons will look to get back on track next weekend as they return home to the friendly confines of the BG Ice Arena. On Dec. 1-2 the Falcons will play host to the Mavericks of Nebraska-Omaha. Both contests are set to begin at 7:05 p.m.
