The Niagara men’s hockey team (2-9-1, 1-2-1 CHA) continues to play a challenging schedule, dropping its fifth game to a ranked foe, falling 8-2 to CHA rival No. 5 Bemidji State (12-2-1, 7-0-0 CHA) at the John Glas Fieldhouse on Friday night.
“Bemidji is a good team with the lead, especially at home when they can smell blood,” head coach Dave Burkholder said. Consecutive even-strength goals in the second period put us in a bad spot.”
The game remained scoreless until late in the first period, where Ian Lowe would score the first of his two goals against junior netminder Adam Avramenko (Strathmore, Alb.). The Purple Eagles would head to the locker room down by the slimmest of margins, 1-0.
