The season opener at Value City Arena didn't go as planned for the Buckeyes, as they fell to the No. 16 Falcons, 6-3.
Well, things could have gone better for the Ohio State men's hockey team. The Buckeyes were taken down by the No. 16 Bowling Green Falcons, 6-3, in the season opener at Value City Arena in Columbus.
The Bucks looked to capitalize on their youthful energy and momentum gained from their strong play toward the end of last season, but fell straight down the well within the first few minutes on Friday night. Bowling Green showed why they're in the upper echelon of NCAA hockey teams by scoring at 2:44 of the first period on a Jakob Reichert tally and then adding another at 8:05 by Kevin Dufour.
