The Kent State hockey team was defeated by Adrian Thursday night in a 13-0 game.
Coach Jim Underwood saw the loss as an opportunity for players to gain experience playing against a top D1 team.
“When the majority of your lineup is made up of freshmen and sophomores, we are going to sacrifice some wins for our guys to learn how to win games,” Underwood said. “Our guys now kind of know what it takes to compete at an elite level and hopefully our guys can make some adjustments to their preparations for tomorrow’s game.”
Adrian College is a nationally ranked, number-one team.
