Bowling Green rebounded from a lackluster effort at home on Friday to
beat Kent on the road in the second game of the weekend series, 5-3.
Putting in 60 minutes of hard work, the Falcons were too much for the
Golden Flashes.
In net for BG was frosh Aaron Ellis, seeing his first collegiate
action. Brian Mulcahy greeting him with a hard shot just 35 seconds
into the game, which Ellis should have stopped, but didn't. Ellis
played well the rest of the evening, however, aggressively challenging
the shooters and handling the puck.
After an even first period, Kent was handed a 2 minute delay of game
penalty to start the second. Near the end of that penalty, they were
caught with too many men on the ice. Still, BG failed to score on their
nearly-four minute plower play. Kent pulled ahead later in the period,
but BG tied it again on Tom Glantz's power play goal at the end of the
stanza. His goal followed a wild 15 second scramble in front of KSU
goalie Paul Dixon. BG fans were sure the Falcons were going to miss
another scoring chance, but Tommy finally hit twine.
In the third, Kent again pulled ahead when BG Ds Paul Basic and Chad
Ackerman both went into the corner, allowing Claude Morin to pick up
the loose puck and shoot it low on the stick side past Ellis. Five
minutes later was the turning point in the game. KSU's Jay Neal saved a
sure goal when he covered the puck in his end; unfortunately, he was
barely in the crease, so BG was awarded a penalty shot. Enter Brett
Harkins, who went top shelf on the glove side to score the first BG
penalty shot goal since the days of Clarke Pineo. Brett, continuing to
hustle 5 minutes later, scored his second of the game and season to put
BGSU ahead to stay. Dixon was pulled at 19:05, but a 3-on-1 break led
to some nifty passing before Sean Pronger buried the puck for a 5-3
final score.
BG earned its first points in CCHA play this season. The Falcons travel
to Illinois-Chicago and Western Michigan next week, while Kent (in
second place in the CCHA) head north to Ferris State. BGSU & KSU will
meet for the final time of the regular season the following week in a
single game in BG.
