MEQUON,
Wis. - After falling in Milwaukee the night before, the
Concordia University Wisconsin men's hockey team came up short
against 12th-ranked Milwaukee School of Engineering on Saturday
night, losing 7-4 inside the Ozaukee Ice Center.
The Falcons and Raiders
were knotted up at 3-3 going into the final frame, but MSOE found
the net four times in the third period to take home the
victory.
CUW (2-16-3, 2-12-2
MCHA) scored three of their four goals on the power play and were
arguably the better team during several stretches of the game, but
they couldn't keep the Raiders quiet in the final twenty
minutes.
After surrendering a
pair of goals in the final minute of the first period, the Falcons
came storming back in the second period with three goals of their
own.
Sophomore Russell
Johnson (Monticello, Minn.) and junior Greg Douglas (Plano, Texas)
both scored power play goals early on in the second to tie the
score at 2-2, before the Raiders scored a shorthanded goal moments
later to take a 3-2 lead.
But the Falcons would
tie things up once again with just three and a half minutes to go
in the period when freshman Tanner Tryggestad (Amery, Wis.)
finished off a great breakout involving Greg and Graylyn Douglas
(Plano, Texas).
MSOE (15-5-1, 12-3-1
MCHA) wouldn't be denied, however, scoring twice early in the third
before junior Jake Furey (Cedarburg, Wis.) pulled one back for the
Falcons.
The Raiders would add
two more goals later in the final frame to emerge victorious.
The Falcons will now
have a week of practice before traveling to Adrian, Mich. next
weekend for a weekend series against Adrian College.
