Hockey splits series with Alaska
The Falcons hockey team defeated the Alaska Nanooks 2-1 on Friday night before falling in a shootout 3-2 on Saturday night.
“I thought our guys responded pretty good overall,” Falcons head coach Chris Bergeron said. “Hard fought games, Alaska’s had a good eight games so far in their season, I knew they were going to have a response (on Saturday), and they did, but our team did as well. I think, overall, it was a pretty typical series in the WCHA.”
On Friday, the first period had Alaska go up at the 7:15 mark, as Troy Van Tetering scored the first goal of the game. They would hold the 1-0 advantage for the rest of the period despite the Falcons outshooting Alaska 9-4 in the period.
