Bowling Green wins the first round series with a goal by Brian
Holzinger in the first overtime. On the winning goal, the puck was in
the corner when Holzinger and a defender skated in to get it. Those two
bodies collided with two already in the corner and the man covering
Brian was hit in the head and knocked down.  Brian picked up the loose
puck and skated across the goal mouth untouched.  After a couple of
moves, he was able to get Craig Lisko out of position and tickle the
twine.
 
Zinger had tied it up midway through the third when he was fed nicely
by Sean Pronger on a short-handed 2-on-1 break. Brian shot it hard as
Lisko tried to skate across the crease. I think Lisko even got a bit of
his stick on it, but the shot was so hard it still went in. BG's first
goal was on the power play, as Curtis Fry skated in on right wing and
deposited the puck between Lisko and the near post.
 
The Ferris offense had its troubles again tonight, as both of the goals
it got were gifts from BG. Passarelli was the recipient of a "nice"
pass right on his stick from one BG defenseman who was trying to pass
across to his partner in the BG zone. He skated in alone, but Petrie
made the initial save. Val was able to poke in the rebound, however.
Christian's goal from along the goal line, as Petrie left a small gap
between him and the post.
 
The Ferris defense played well, blocking one-third of the 93 shots BG
attempted.  But Gruden again did not play much and was not effective
when he was in there.
 
Lisko was great in net again. Petrie was good except for the Christian
goal, but he saved his best for the OT period when he stopped Christian
several times from in close.
 
The reffing was inconsistent and favored BG. But BG was the more
offensively-skilled team, so you suspect the other team will have to
take some extra penalties.
 
So, BG makes it to the Joe for the second straight year. They could be
anywhere from the 4th to 6th seed and could face MSU, WMU, Miami or UAF
on Friday.
 
See ya there.
