 A sixth place finish in the WCHA and their first winning season in six years last year was the story of the BSU men's hockey season. That season they'll cut short by Bowling Green who knocked out BSU in the first round of the WCHA playoffs as the Beavers hosted number 15 Bowling Green tonight to kick off their season with some revenge on their mind and conference points on the line. Just over six minutes into the game Beavers on the power play Jerry Fitzgerald gives it to Zach White-Cloud who fires from the blue line for the goal the first in the freshman's career. BSU goes up one. Just over seven to go now in the first fill Marinaccio. Fires to the front of the net finds Miles Fitzgerald who finds the back of the net Beavers go up two. We fast forward to the third. Beavers up to one under 10 seconds left BG's Matt Polkamp fires a couple of shots but Michael Bitzer makes the two biggest of his 20 saves to preserve the lead as BSU wins their season opener over number 15 Bowling Green two to one.
