DeKALB — The Hockey D1 team couldn’t keep up with the University of Iowa’s DII team on Friday night at Canlan Ice Sports in West Dundee.
Despite playing its most disciplined game of the year, taking only four penalties, NIU didn’t have an answer for the Iowa offense, losing 6-1. Iowa was able to capitalize on their chances while preventing NIU from getting into a flow offensively.
“They were a good skating team and a lot of times that can cause some havoc and that seems to be what happened last night,” NIU Head Coach Mike Rucinski said.
