COMMENTS:
   ALTHOUGH WESTERN ONLY DECIDED TO PLAY THE THIRD PERIOD, TAKE NOTHING AWAY
FROM NOTRE DAME, WHO CAME OUT READY TO PLAY.  wESTERN HAD THEIR TROUBLE
STAYING OUT OF THE PENALTY BOX (TWO MEN SHORT TWICE).  THIS LEAD TO ONE GOAL
AND PUT WESTERN ON THE DEFENSIVE MOST OF THE GAME.
  WESTERN TOOK POOR SHOTS AND TOOK THEM AT BAD TIMES MAKING NOTRE DAME LOOK
BETTER THAN THEY HAVE IN EARLIER GAMES.
  WESTERN DID HAVE A CHANCE TO TIE THE GAME WHEN WITH THEIR GOALTENDER PULLED
COLIN WARD HIT THE CROSSBAR AFTER NOTRE DAME MISSED THE OPEN NET FROM CENTER
ICE.  WESTERN WILL TRY AGAIN TONIGHT AT HOME.
 
PERSONAL NOTE:
  FROM THE BENCH IT LOOKED AS THOUGH WMU DIDN'T CARE THAT THIS WEEKEND COULD
PUT THEM INTO FIRST PLACE.  NOTRE DAME MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE BETTER TEAM, BUT
THEY DEFINITELY OUTWORKED THE BRONCOS.
  THE REFEREEING WAS THAT WHICH HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT IN PREVIOUS
COMMENTS, WHERE ONE REFEREE RUNS THE SHOW, AND THE OTHER GETS IN THE WAY.
THEY GOT A LITTLE HUNG UP ON THE CHECKING FROM BEHIND.  IF A MAN TURNS HIS
BACK TO THE CHECK, IT HAS TO BE LET GO.
  THIS WAS A TOUGH FIRST LOSS FOR BRIAN RENFREW, WE'LL SEE HOW HE HANDLES IT.
