Mercyhurst, coming off of a 6-3 win against AIC last week, skated to a 5-1 loss to Merrimack at Lawler Arena on Friday night. The penalty kill for Mercyhurst allowed three power-play goals from Merrimack in the game.<\/p>\n
A five-on-three goal from Jonathan Kovacevic got things started in the first period. The period would end 2-0 in favor of the home team.<\/p>\n
After an early power-play goal from Hampus Gustafsson in the second period to make it 3-0, Mercyhurst got on the board with a power-play goal of its own when Zach Todd scored from the top of the faceoff dots to cut the Merrimack lead to 3-1. Mercyhurst then skated to the locker room down 4-1.<\/p>\n
A late power-play goal by Michael Babcock iced the game for Merrimack 5-1.<\/p>\n
Mercyhurst was faced with a challenge with Drew Vogler in net for Merrimack, as he made 29 stops. This didn’t limit Mercyhurst from generating scoring opportunities, as mentioned by Merrimack coach Mark Dennehy.<\/p>\n
“We scored five and they scored one but it didn’t feel like a 5-1 game; I think they could’ve had three or four goals…” said Dennehy.<\/p>\n
Mercyhurst now sits with a 2-3 record and will play at New Hampshire tomorrow night.<\/p>\n
