MD1 Splits Weekend With Ohio
The MD1 team took on their second top five opponent of the year when they faced the Ohio Bobcats in the first set of two home at home series with Ohio this past weekend.
The Bulldogs first played host at Arrington Ice Arena on Thursday night. Captain Dan Stone would get it all started on Thursday night, notching a powerplay goal to give the Bulldogs an early 1-0 lead. Stone's goal would come unassisted. Mike Finger would make things 2-0 with 7:21 gone in the first with assists from Alex Daman and Jordan Oshowy. The Bobcats would cut the lead to 2-1 within the dying seconds of the first but the Dawgs would take a 2-1 lead back to the locker room after the first.
Tyler Fyfe would notch his fifth goal of the season at the 4:06 mark of the second period on the powerplay and the Bulldogs would regain the two goal lead. Chris Donaldson would be awarded the lone assist. Mason Vaughn would net his first of the year a minute and a half later with Fyfe and Donaldson assisting. Fyfe would net his second of the game and team leading third powerplay goal of the season off of an unassisted effort at the 7:48 mark of the second period. Sam Spaedt would tip a shot from the point from Dakota Bohn five minutes later and the Bulldogs would hold a 6-1 lead. The Bobcats would score twice before the period's end but the Bulldogs would still hold a 6-3 lead.
Jordan Oshowy would make things 7-3 with five minutes gone in the final frame with a lone assist from Donaldson for the Dawgs' fourth powerplay goal of the game. Ohio would score once more in the third but Brodie Thornton and the Bulldogs would have the final goal of the game at the 18:45 mark of the third for an 8-4 win.
Andrew Wagner would pick up the win in net and the Bulldogs would pick up their eighth win in as many games.
The two teams would swore off in Athens, Ohio the next night for a rematch and their second of four scheduled games against each other.
Ohio would score the only goal of the first period of a much lower scoring affair Friday night on the powerplay. Dakota Bohn would tie things up in the second period with an assist from Dominic Moore at the 2:38 mark of the third but the Bobcats would score once again, this time even strength.
The Bulldogs couldn't find the back of the net in the back half of the game Friday night and would drop their first game of the season to the Bobcats by a score of 1-2.
The same two teams take the ice this Thursday night in game three of four of their four game series at Arrington Ice Arena before heading back down to Athens to finish off their series.
