Box Score KENT, Ohio – The Indiana Tech American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) Division 1 Ice Hockey team went the distance with Kent State University taking a 2-2 deadlock into the third period before KSU nemesis Chance Taylor got the game's only goal of the final two periods to stake his team to a 3-2 game.
The Warriors came closer to upsetting a team that has received votes in the national top-25 poll this month but couldn't seal the deal Saturday night. It was the ninth time that Tech has faced a team either in the top-25 or one that has received votes nationally this season.
Tech twice came from behind to tie the contest in the opening frame. First, it was
Cameron Dimmitt tying the game at 1-1 with assists from
Michael Schmitt and
Jake Henrikson midway through the first. With about two minutes left in the same period,
Vaughn Clouston's power-play tally tied the game again at 2.
The Golden Flashes out-shot the Warriors, 25-20. Tech netminder
Zach Larson registered 23 saves on the night and kept his team in the game.
The Division 1 team is set for a home rematch against Midland University this weekend. Tech will play Friday, Nov. 7 at 8:30 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 8 at 8:00 p.m. at the SportOne Parkview IceHouse.
