EMU 5 - Kent State 4

On Saturday night, Eastern Michigan University (in white) defeated Kent State (in blue) 5-4.

     On Saturday night, the Eastern Michigan University hockey team hosted their conference rival opponent Kent State University at the Taylor Sportsplex.  Both schools compete in the GLCHL (Great Lakes Collegiate Hockey League), and both schools are Division 1 ACHA (American Collegiate Hockey Association) programs.  The game was chippy from the get go, and as the game wore on, it was apparent that many of the players on the ice were developing a strong dislike for one another.  Both teams played evenly through forty minutes, and the game was tied 2-2 at the end of two periods.  #27 Bryan Kozlowski gave Eastern Michigan a 3-2 lead just over a minute into the third period, and the Eagles began to dictate the tempo.  The goal was Kozlowski's second of the game, and the Eagles followed his effort with goals from #28 Anthony Stankiewicz, and #21 Clayton Hodges.  The Eagles held a 5-2 lead late in the contest, but Kent State's #8 Nigel Crighton scored with under three minutes remaining to make it 5-3.  #14 Joe Kummerl scored for Kent State with 14.5 seconds left in regulation, but the Eagles held on to pick up the 5-4 victory.
     Eastern Michigan University is currently in 5th place in the GLCHL Conference standings with 32 points, and a 12-19 overall record.  The Eastern Michigan hockey team plays all of their home games at the Taylor Sportsplex located at 13333 Telegraph Road, in Taylor.  The Eagles play their next home game this Friday night (7:30 p.m.) against the Adrian Bulldogs.  Click on the links below for more information about Eastern Michigan University hockey, or the Taylor Sportsplex.
