BOWLING GREEN — Bemidji State forced overtime with a last-minute equalizer, but Bowling Green State University hockey came out on top as Ryan O’Hara’s game-ending goal gave the Falcons a 4-3 victory Friday at the Slater Family Ice Arena.
BGSU (11-7-2, 7-4-2 Central Collegiate Hockey Association) won for the sixth game in a row and for the fifth straight time in CCHA play.
Ben Doran gave the Falcons the initial lead with the lone goal of the first period, scoring 9:38 into the opening period with an assist from Jackson Niedermayer. Kirklan Irey got the Beavers (9-10-3, 5-6-2) on the board less than a minute into the second, and the game remained tied at 1 entering the third period.
