Too many penalties and not enough shots on goal added up to a 3-1 loss for the UAA hockey team Friday night at the Seawolf Sports Complex.
Bowling Green scored twice in the first period to seize control early in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association game. The 17th-ranked Falcons added a goal in the second period and didn’t surrender a goal to UAA until the third period.
UAA was limited to 16 shots on goal, its lowest total of the season, while Bowling Green fired 37 shots. Seawolves goalie Kristian Stead made 34 saves and Bowling Green’s Eric Dop had 15.
Alec Rauhauser, Cameron Wright and Connor Ford scored for the Falcons. Nick Wicks put UAA on the scoreboard early in the third period on assists from Brayden Camrud and Drayson Pears.
The Seawolves racked up 45 penalty minutes on nine penalties, and Camrud and Jared Nash were both hit with game misconducts in the third period. Both teams were scoreless on three power plays.
The teams will meet again Saturday at 5 p.m.
