FAIRBANKS, Alaska — Max Johnson and Brandon Kruse each scored goals late Saturday as the Bowling Green State University ice hockey team shut out the Alaska Nanooks 2-0 in a Western Collegiate Hockey Association contest at the Carlson Center.
It’s the third consecutive series the Falcons (16-6-3, 11-5-2-2 WCHA) have split with a league opponent. Bowling Green, ranked No. 9 in the latest USCHO.com and USA Today Division I polls and No. 12 in the Pairwise rankings, still is in second place in the league, five points behind first place Minnesota State (19-6-1, 14-4-0-0).
