After a string of inconsistent plays through the first seven games of the season, Bowling Green hockey runs into the powerhouse that is second-ranked Minnesota State this weekend.
The Mavericks, a team that has been locked in by preseason polls to run away with the WCHA regular season and postseason titles, have always brought the best out of the Falcons, but the early matchup this year catches a BGSU team still trying to find its footing. The past two series against Western Michigan and Michigan Tech were defined by the Falcons’ strong play Friday and their lackluster efforts on Saturday.
