Hockey falls to Murtaugh, Cyclones in CSCHL play
February 27, 2009
The Illini hockey team couldn’t duplicate the success it had against Iowa State last weekend, falling to the Cyclones 6-3 on Saturday.
Although the Illini out-shot Iowa State, the bounces weren’t going their way.
The Illini converted on two of their seven power-play chances, while limiting the Cyclones to just four power-play opportunities.
Forward Matt Jennings tallied a goal in the losing effort, but the rest of the big scorers were held in check.
Forward Mike Murtaugh led the Cyclones’ scoring attack with a goal and three assists.
