The Kent State hockey club suffered two brutal losses at the hands of Davenport University (18-9-2), by scores of 6-2 and 5-3, to bring the Flashes’ record to 24-9-1 on the season.
The losses also bring an end to the team’s national playoff hopes.
“We needed to come into the weekend strong and win both games,” said coach Jim Underwood. “It’s unfortunate because the team is full of great players who played their hearts out this season.”
Going into the weekend, Kent State still sat in the 19th spot in the national rankings. In order to make the playoffs, they needed to move up two spots into 17th.
