BOX SCORE
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - The Bowling Green State University hockey team returned to the Alltel Center Saturday night for vengeance after their 3-2 loss the previous night, but came up short losing to Minnesota State, 4-1.
Falcon freshman goaltender Andrew Hammond would get his first start of his collegiate career and would be tested early as in the first period alone, the Mavericks would put 13 shots on goal. Hammond recorded his first collegiate on a Ryan Galiardi slapper that Hammond would deflect with a kick save. He would save four consecutive shots against him, all within the first five minutes of play.
After killing eight consecutive Minnesota State power play opportunities, seven of which from last night, the Mavericks would make the best of their second power play of the night. After Brian Moore was penalized for tipping at 14:13 in the first period, Ryan Galiardi would crash the net when three Falcons went to help Hammond's left side and slap one home past the freshman keeper to take a 1-0 advantage.
The Mavericks would out-shoot Bowling Green, 13-4 in the first period, setting the tone for the offensive aggressiveness MSU head coach Troy Jutting would employ against the Falcons.
The second period would be a similar story to the opening period as against the Mavericks would out-shoot the Falcons by a wide margin, 17-6. Hammond would keep 16 of those out of the net, but the Mavericks would raise the rowdy crowd of 3,546 to their feet when the power play would once again benefit the Purple and Gold. Senior Tomas Petruska would be called for a hooking penalty with 1:09 left in the second period and forty-five seconds later the Mavericks would strike again. Kurt Davis would acquire the puck at the top of the slot and with lots of traffic between he and Hammond, Davis would flick a wrister below his glove to put MSU up two goals to none. Galiardi would get credit with an assist on the play for his second point of the contest.
At the end of two periods, Minnesota State tallied 30 shots on goal to Bowling Green's 10 with 17 coming in the second frame alone.
The Mavericks would take the fewest shots on goal in the third period (11), but would double their lead in the process. Andrew Sackrison would find himself at the right place at the right time when an errant shot would bounce hard off the board and find his stick for an easy rebound shot that would sound the arena horns a minute into the final period. Bowling Green 0, Minnesota State 3.
The home team would not be stopped there as Galiardi would reemerge in the scorers column with another red lighter, his second on the night. After out-skating two BG defenders, he would take an open slap shot and blazed one past the glove of Andrew Hammond. With 13:06 remaining, the Mavericks would take a 4-0 lead.
Bowling Green would get the best of MSU in shots taken in the third period, 13-11, and BG senior Josh Boyd would keep Maverick freshman net minder Kevin Murdock from getting his first win by shut out.
Fresh off of MSU killing a Bowling Green power play, the Falcons would charge towards Murdock and follow up on a loose puck in front of the net. Boyd would scoop up the loose puck and shoot stick side on Murdock and beat him to his left from five feet out and put the Falcons on the board, 4-1.
Jordan Samuels-Thomas (Fr., F) would gain credit for the first assist, his third of the weekend, and senior assistant captain Tommy Dee would get the second assist.
Time would run out for the Falcons, but not before they made a valiant effort to bombard Murdock with five shots, all by different shooters, in the last three minutes. Murdock would pass the test and knock all five attempts away and preserve the 4-1 score for the win and the series sweep.
In his collegiate debut, Andrew Hammond would stop 37 Maverick shots on 41 attempts, 16 coming in the second period alone. His counterpart, freshman Kevin Murdock would save 22-of-23 Falcon shots in his first win.
Head coach Dennis Williams found solace in the play of his freshman keeper. “Andrew Hammond was the best player for us out there tonight. Unfortunately, we couldn't give him more support but he was by far the best player on the ice. He kept us in the game and we just got to find more ways to more offense. “
The Falcons would finish the night zero-for-eight on the power play and a combined one-for-fifteen on the weekend against the Mavericks. Minnesota State would make up for its zero-for-seven performance on the power play Friday with a two-for-nine showing in the finale.
For the evening, MSU fired 14 shots on its nine power plays and 41 total. Twelve of BG's 23 shots were on the power play.
“We'll get back at practice on Monday,” said Williams. “It will be a tough one too. We learn from this and get tougher for next week.”
Bowling Green now falls to 0-2-0 on the young season and will return home next week for an exhibition match with the U.S. Under-18 Developmental team based out of Ann Harbor, Mich. on Friday, Oct. 16.
