BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green Falcons hockey team (7-3-2, 5-3-0) defeated Lake Superior State (7-8-0, 3-5-0) by a score of 6-2 on Saturday (Nov. 20) night. Alex Barber led the Falcons with two goals and two assists, matching last night's stat line from Coale Norris. The victory gives the Falcons a 5-0 record in the Slater Family Ice Arena, scoring 24 goals in those games.

Scoring Plays

The Falcons opened the scoring column early, needing barely over a minute to tally a goal. It was Taylor Schneider that registered the score, receiving the pass from Alex Barber after he swiped it from Lake Superior State.
Lake Superior State soon answered with a score of their own before the three-minute mark of the game. Dustin Manz scored the goal with assists from Jacob Bengtsson and Logan Jenuwine.
The Lakers tallied the next goal to take a 2-1 lead. The goal came from Jenuwine with an assist from Josh Nixon.
The scoring saw a lull before Chrystopher Collin notched one more before the end of the period. Skating behind the net, Collin was able to wrap the puck around and flick it over the shoulder of Lake Superior State's goalie. Eric Parker and Gabriel Chicoine were credited with the assists on the score.
In the second period, Alex Barber was able to pick up a loose puck in the offensive zone and cut his way through the defense to log his third goal of the season, giving BG back the lead. Sam Craggs was able to log an assist by knocking the puck loose for Barber to find.
Later in the period on the power play, Nathan Burke redirected a shot from Chicoine for a score. The goal was Burke's eighth of the season, adding to his team lead. In addition to Chicoine, Taylor Schneider also gained an assist on the goal.
In the third period, Barber found Scardina on an outlet pass to register the Falcons' fifth goal of the game. Barber had the primary assist with Collin getting the secondary.
With three minutes remaining, Barber intercepted a Laker pass and scored an unassisted, shorthanded, empty-net goal to cap the evening.
