BG Hockey falls 4-3 in loss to Northern Michigan

The Bowling Green Men’s Hockey team (6-5-0, 4-1 CCHA) lost a 3-1 lead late in the game as they gave up three unanswered goals at Northern Michigan (4-7-0, 2-3 CCHA). BG came into the match 4-0 in Collegiate Central Hockey Association (CCHA) Conference Play for the first time since the 1994-95 season. Bowling Green’s senior forward, Ben Doran, began the match by winning the opening faceoff, and that set up a shot by sophomore defenseman Brayden Crampton, which was saved by Northern Michigan’s sophomore goaltender, Oliver Auyeung-Ashton. Both teams would then trade shots until in the fifth minute of the game, Doran would win another faceoff for the Falcons, which set up a goal by senior forward Brody Waters on full strength less than a minute later. Waters recorded his fourth goal of the season on the shot, which allowed BG to take the first lead of the game. Both teams finished the first period even as BG led shots at 22-20, but the two teams both put twelve shots on goal.
