D3 Hockey Suffers Pair of Defeats to UM Flint

(Howell, MI)-- The Cleary Cougar ACHA D3 hockey team played a pair of games vs. the UM-Flint Wolverines this weekend.

In Game 1 at UM-Flint: Cleary would get on the board first in the second period, as Wayne Taiman would score, with an assist from Ben Kozar.  UM-Flint would tie the game going into the final period.  After the Wolverines scored to take the lead, Taiman would score his second goal of the game, with assists from Kozar and Brady Meyer to equalize.  A UM-Flint goal with 10 minutes left would prove to be the game winner, as the game ended with a 3-2 scoreline.

TJ Ramsey made 30 saves in goal while suffering the loss.
