ANN ARBOR, Mich. - The Division I independent Niagara Purple Eagles were
actually purple eaters Saturday night, biting defending NCAA champion
Michigan, 2-1. On Friday, Niagara lost 6-5 in overtime to the Wolverines.
Michigan, ranked No. 2 nationally, opened the scoring midway through the
second period with a goal from Justin Clark but Niagara responded seven
minutes later with a Mikko Sivonen tally. In the third, NU's Mike Isherwood
notched the game-winning goal at 9:37. Greg Gardner made 33 saves in the
winning effort and Kevin O'Malley 15 in the loss. Rensselear and Ferris
State got upset wins versus No. 8 Boston University and No. 9 Ohio State,
respectively. Of Saturday's 13 regular-season contests, 2 were won by 3
goals, 5 were 2-goal decisions and 6 were decided by a goal. Other winners
on the night: Alaska-Anchorage, Bowling Green, Canisius, Maine, Michigan
State, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Northern Michigan, Notre Dame and
