Kansas club hockey splits the weekend

The Kansas club hockey team experienced victory and defeat this weekend when they faced the Southern Illinois Salukis last Friday and Saturday.

Penalties were a factor in the games both nights. Kansas posted 23 penalties and Southern Illinois racked up 17. Kansas broke even, scoring four goals — two Friday night and two Saturday night — during Southern Illinois’ power plays, but also gave up two goals Friday and two goals Saturday during their own power plays.

Friday night’s game was played differently from Saturday’s game.

“Tonight’s (Saturday’s) game we played all three periods instead of two periods,” Erik Bredesen, Crystal, Minn., senior said. “We had a let down in the second period (Friday night) which basically cost us the game.”

Two minutes into the third period two Kansas players were called for different penalties within 30 seconds of one another. Southern Illinois had the advantage of five players against Kansas’ three and played to that advantage by scoring another goal.

A few fans and players said the penalties ultimately cost Kansas the game Friday night.

“We probably should have come out with two ‘W’s but due to unfortunate circumstances we didn’t,” Bredesen said.

It seemed certain that Kansas would pull off the victory with the final minutes winding down until the Salukis scored another goal with two minutes left in play. Freshman Ryan Dunn, who scored the final goal in Friday night’s game, scored the final goal for Kansas on Saturday with 1:56 left in play. His goal led Kansas to a 5-4 victory over Southern Illinois.

Kansas is now 10-9 and will play their next home game against Eastern Illinois on Dec. 12 and 13 at Pepsi Ice Midwest.
