The Falcon hockey team was defeated by the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs 2-1 in sudden death overtime on Saturday afternoon in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Regionals, eliminating the team from the tournament.
“They’ve got really good players at all three positions,” Falcons head coach Chris Bergeron said of Minnesota Duluth. “Their experience made them very difficult to play against. Unfortunately, we were three minutes away from finishing the game the way we wanted to finish it, but their experience made it very difficult for us.”
The first period saw both teams go scoreless through the first 20 minutes, despite two Minnesota Duluth power plays and one power play opportunity for the Falcons, albeit a short one at only 10 seconds.
