In a 5-0 win against Lake Superior State, Eric Dop recorded his second straight shutout and extended his active streak without allowing a goal to 138:15. His eighth win of the season pushed the Falcons to a 8-4 record on the year.
Bowling Green had to shake some rust off after a shaky start to the contest but responded quickly with two goals 31 seconds apart. Max Johnson deposited a tap-in pass from Will Cullen and Sam Craggs completed a barrage of shots by snapping a rebound off the post and in.
Still, the Lakers held a 10-9 shot advantage heading into the locker room.
