The Bowling Green Falcon Hockey team completes a weekend sweep this
afternoon by downing the Ohio State Buckeyes 6-1. The two wins allow
the Falcons to remain a point ahead of the Spartans, and two points ahead of
 Miami and
Lake Superior in the race for second place. The game was marred by a
fight towards the end of the 2nd period.  Brandon Carper was checked
illegally from behind, and this precipitated a brawl between BG's Kevin
Lune, and OSU's Taj Shaffnit.  They were both thrown out of the game, and
on the way to the locker rooms, they got into it again.  Some Ohio State
patrolmen were forced to break up the scuffle. They were both
disqualified from the game again, which means that both will be suspended
for the remainder of the regular season.  Shortly after that, a
few overzealous fans tried to take on the entire OSU bench. (Apparently a
few BG fans needed to get out some aggressiveness after a 2 hour drive
down to the State Fairgrounds.)  Those two gentlemen were promptly
ejected from the building. I believe that there were 72 minutes of
penalties called in the game combined. Tom Askey made 29 saves for the
Buckeyes, and Bob Petrie got the win in goal for the Falcons, making 17
saves. Mike Hall had two goals, and Holzinger, Crombeen, Williams, and
Fry had a goal a piece. Holzinger also had an assist in the game, giving
him 3 points on the weekend.
