BGSU hockey lost to the Northern Michigan Wildcats on Friday night 4-3 in game one of the WCHA best-of-three opening round.
Offensively the Falcons were led by junior forward Taylor Schneider, who scored a hat-trick but it was not enough.
“We put together 40 minutes out of 60,” Schneider said after the game. “I liked how we played in the first and the third period. They took advantage of us in the second and that cost us.”
While the Falcons outscored the Wildcats 17-5 during the regular season, Northern Michigan’s offense was ablaze on Friday night, scoring four in the second period.
