MIAMI 4, No. 11/11 BOWLING GREEN 2 Returning from a 23-day layoff, Miami came out firing on all cylinders to snap a four-game losing streak by downing former CCHA rival No. 11/11 Bowling Green, 4-2, Monday night at Slater Family Ice Arena. With the win (5-10-3), the RedHawks earned a home-and-home series split with BGSU (12-7-1), after the Fal- cons won in Oxford to open the season. Miami scored twice on the power play in the win, while senior forwards Karch Bachman and Gordie Green tallied a goal and two assists each, with Green becoming the first active NCHC player with 100 career points. After a mostly scoreless first frame, Miami struck twice in a two-minute span late in the opening period, first on the pow- er play off the stick of freshman forward Ryan Savage, while redshirt junior forward Christian Mohs doubled the lead 1:49 later with his second goal of the year. A man-advantage marker from Green in front of net, his 100th career point, made it 3-0 Red- Hawks early in the second stanza, before BGSU broke through midway through the period. The Falcons closed within one in the third period, but an empty-netter from Bachman sealed the win. Senior goalie Ryan Larkin totaled 35 saves in net for MU as BGSU outshot Miami, 37-31.
