Michigan 6 - Mercyhurst 4

It wasn't pretty, but the Wolverines opened the 2015 season with a win over Mercyhurst.

For a season opener, last night's game won't be one to look back on with fond memories but in the record book it's 1-0-0.

It was a night that the puck was finding the net. Shots went off skates and took awkward bounces, broken plays ended in deflating goals and each time a side looked to pull away the other had an answer. In the end the Wolverines were able to overcome three deficits with the help of a Kyle Connor shorthanded goal and a curveball from Tyler Motte that went off a stick and over the shoulder of the goaltender.
