Kentucky hockey kicked off home weekend stand with win over Penn State

Kentucky hockey defeated Penn State 4-1 on Friday, Sept. 14, at the Lexington Ice Center.

The Wildcats would strike first with freshman Macklin Yelle scoring his first career goal five minutes into the first period, giving the Cats a 1-0 lead.

The rest of the first period would see a back-and-forth contest with neither team finding the back of the net.

Penn State found its footing early in the second period, answering with a goal to tie the game.

This momentum shift did not last long, however, as the Nittany Lions were given a penalty, awarding UK a five-on-four power play.
