Falcons and MTU Meet Again Saturday Night at Slater
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – Michigan Tech came into the Slater Family Ice Arena and came away with a 7-0 victory over the Bowling Green State University hockey team Friday night (Feb. 23) in the opening game of the teams' two-game weekend series.
Alex Nordstrom had two goals for the Huskies (13-13-6, 10-9-2 CCHA), with five of his teammates scoring one goal apiece. Henry Bartle had three assists on the night, and Blake Pietila made 28 saves to earn the shutout in net.
For the Falcons (13-17-1 11-9-1 CCHA), Cole Moore made 37 saves, while Christian Stoever had 12 stops in relief.
The loss snapped BGSU's six-game unbeaten streak.
Through Friday night's games around the league, the Falcons are tied for third place with Minnesota State. Both teams have 35 points, trailing second-place St. Thomas by one point and league-leading Bemidji State by four points. MTU's win moves the Huskies to within two points of the Falcons and MSU in fifth place.
Scoring Summary
• After nearly 11 scoreless minutes, the Huskies got on the scoreboard when Arvid Caderoth lit the lamp at the 10:55 mark.
• The visitors scored twice in the final three minutes of the first period, with Alex Nordstrom doubling the Huskies' lead with 2:40 on the clock, and Isaac Gordon scoring with just eight seconds to go.
• Two more goals late in the second period gave MTU a five-goal lead, as Jack Works scored at the 14:44 mark, and Tyrone Bronte lit the lamp with only 29 seconds left in the period.
• Marcus Pedersen made it a six-goal game with just 1:22 gone int he third period, before Nordstrom capped the scoring with his second goal with just 2:06 left.
Quoting Coach Eigner
"This was a really tough one. The start was pretty good; we had some chances. We had a good look a couple shifts in, we had a good look on the power play and we didn't capitalize. And then, we stopped playing hockey and Michigan Tech didn't. They deserve all the credit because there isn't a single facet of the game where they didn't completely outplay us."
"I think the second period was similar to the first. We started the second period well. Owen Ozar has a good chance and he hits the post. Against a goalie like Blake (Pietila), you don't know how many chances you're going to get. You have to take advantage of those chances, and we didn't tonight."
Up Next
The Falcons and Huskies will wrap up their weekend series on Saturday night (Feb. 24) in a 7:07 p.m. start. Saturday's game will be Senior Night, and the 1984 National Championship Team will also be recognized.
