BOWLING GREEN — Minnesota State clearly has been the best team in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association this season, and the Mavericks certainly looked the part on Friday at Slater Family Ice Arena.
The No. 3 Mavericks used to their top-ranked special teams to their advantage, then broke open the game with three even-strength goals in the final 10 minutes of the second period to race past No. 15 Bowling Green 6-3.
The Falcons (13-10-2) went on the power play with just more than four minutes to play in the second period with a chance to tie the game at three, and the game instead swung the other way.
