Manhandling the Competition

by Published: Jan 12, 2011

The Bulldogs snapped out of a three-game win­less funk with two dom­i­nat­ing road per­for­mances as they outscored Bowling Green University 7–2 in their two– game series sweep Jan. 7–8.

The sweep marks the first time Ferris has swept Bowling Green on its home ice since the 2002-03 sea­son. The vic­tory on Saturday was head coach Bob Daniels 300th win.

The first game ended in a 4–1 Bulldog vic­tory with sopho­more Kyle Bonis scor­ing twice and sopho­more Matthew Kirzinger and senior Todd Pococke record­ing the other goals for the away team.

Ferris fin­ished off the sweep by a 3–1 mar­gin as senior Zach Redmond, sopho­more Travis Ouellette, and junior Jordie Johnston would all light the lamp for the Bulldogs as they scored three straight goals to come back from an early 1–0 deficit. Coach Bob Daniels was very proud of his team’s com­pe­ti­tion level.

“I’m just proud of our guys that we were able to come back after a win last night and that we didn’t sit back, we came out tonight,” said Daniels.

Ferris will be look­ing to con­tinue its strong skat­ing as they pre­pare for an away-home series against No. 7-ranked University of Michigan. U of M has won five of its past six games with its only loss com­ing in overtime.

“With a big week­end com­ing up with Michigan these (past two wins) will lead to a much more pleas­ant ice arena,” said Daniels.

Ferris will be host­ing the series finale at Ewigleben Ice Arena on Saturday, Jan. 15.

The nation­ally No. 19-ranked Bulldogs will have their work cut out for them if they want to defend their home ice as the Wolverines are cur­rently per­fect as they boast a 9−0−2 record. n

    Hopefully the Bulldogs can get Daniels his 301 and 302 against the Wolverines.
