The 14th-ranked Milwaukee School of Engineering Raiders skated away with a big MCHA conference win Saturday afternoon as they beat the No. 6 Adrian Bulldogs 6-1 in a battle of the MCHA’s elite. <\/p>\n
The Raiders got an outstanding performance from goaltender Connor Toomey, who made 31 saves on 32 shots, including several huge keys saves in the first period. <\/p>\n
“He’s our rock back there,” said Raiders coach Mark Ostapina. “I can’t say enough about Connor as a student, player and a person.”<\/p>\n
The Raiders’ power play got the first goal of the game at the 13:32 mark of the first when Jordan Keizer beat Adrian goalie James Hamby. <\/p>\n
“We were just moving the puck today on the power play,” said Ostapina. <\/p>\n
Toomey came up huge for the Raiders throughout the rest of the period. Every time the Bulldogs started to gain a little bit of momentum, Toomey was there. <\/p>\n
As the first period ended, MSOE held a 1-0 lead. <\/p>\n
Just like the night before, MSOE struck early in the second period as Josh Keizer scored 51 seconds into the period to go up 2-0. <\/p>\n
Kevin Balaas got Adrian’s lone goal of the night less than a minute later as he cut the MSOE lead to 2-1, but that would be as close as the Bulldogs would get throughout the rest of the game. <\/p>\n
The Raiders would extend their lead to 4-1 by the end of the second period.<\/p>\n
The third period was more of the same as the Raiders scored two more goals to push the score to 6-1. <\/p>\n
As the final horn sounded, the Raiders handed the Bulldogs their worst home loss in the history of the program.<\/p>\n
“Today, their three best players, Keizer, Keizer and Toomey, were better than ours,” said Adrian coach Ron Fogarty. “Plain and simple.”<\/p>\n
With the win, MSOE draws two points closer to Adrian in the MCHA standings as the season winds down to the last few weekends. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
