Kentucky club hockey swept its weekend series against Michigan to close out the Cats’ regular season.
Game one, which saw the team celebrate its 40th anniversary, erupted into an intense physical matchup immediately following puck drop.
The first goal of the night was scored by Kentucky’s Marc L’Heureux with one minute remaining in the first period, giving the Wildcats an early lead. Michigan took plenty of shots on goal but never sank one, which only added to the tense environment in the rink.
The fierce defensive matchup continued for the remainder of the first quarter. Kentucky’s goalie, Arley Cutler, showed off his skills throughout the game, only allowing three goals with a shutout first period.
