The ninth-seeded Bowling Green Falcons completed the upset sweep of the second-seeded Miami RedHawks with a 4-3 overtime win.<\/p>\n
Bowling Green defenseman Grady Moore snuck a slapshot just inside of Miami netminder David Burleigh at 9:55 into the overtime period to lift the Falcons to the first quarterfinal-round upset of a No. 2 seed in the history of the CCHA Playoffs. <\/p>\n
Miami’s Pat Leahy opened up the scoring on the night, tallying the game’s first goal at 10:46 in the first period. <\/p>\n
Leahy’s goal was the difference through the remainder of the first period and a scoreless second period, as Burleigh stopped 13-of-13 Falcon shots through two periods.<\/p>\n
Bowling Green hit its rhythm in the third period, tallying consecutive goals by Kevin Bieksa and Ryan Murphy to surge into the lead. <\/p>\n
Miami’s Evan Cheverie briefly cooled off the Falcons with a sharp slapshot at 11:02.<\/p>\n
Murphy once again put the Falcons on top at 11:32 with another score, but Miami’s Nick Jardine came through in the clutch, tying the game at 18:38. <\/p>\n
Miami dropped to 20-16-2 on the season while finishing at 17-10-1 in the CCHA. The RedHawks, who have now lost seven-consecutive CCHA postseason games, lost a home playoff series for the first time in the history of the program. Bowling Green, which upset third-seeded Lake Superior in the first round last season, continued its role as CCHA postseason dark horse and improved to 15-18-5 on the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
