OMAHA, Neb. -- The Western Michigan hockey team dropped its penultimate game at the National Collegiate Hockey Conference Pod, falling to No. 17 Omaha 6-5, at Baxter Arena on Friday evening.
Five different Broncos scored on the day but WMU was unable to hold a 3-0 advantage after the first period.
The Broncos took a very early 1-0 lead on a goal by Michael Joyaux just 1:27 after the start. Drew Worrad won the faceoff in the UNO zone back to Joyaux and the junior defenseman skated it into the slot and let a shot rip into the back of the net for his first of the season.
