Late power play goal lifts Michigan State in Bowling Green hockey home opener

BOWLING GREEN — A sweep of a Big Ten team would’ve gone a long way for Bowling Green in the second week of the season, but the Falcons came up just short on Saturday night against Michigan State.

After scoring the first goal of the evening, Bowling Green allowed a late power play winner to Spartans right wing Daniel Russell to give Michigan State a 2-1 win and series split.

Bowling Green won the opening faceoff, and the Falcons went on the power play after the Spartans were called for having too many men on the ice, but senior right wing Alex Barber had a shot blocked at close range.
