Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University men's ice hockey squad went to the wire with visiting Lindenwood on Friday (Oct. 31) night, but came out on the short end of a 1-0 decision at the Ewigleben Ice Arena.
The Bulldogs outshot the Lions 31-17 in the first-ever matchup between the two schools, however Lindenwood scored the only goal of the night in the second frame to come away with the win.
After a scoreless opening period, the Lions jumped on the board 8:02 into the second fame when Louis-Philippe Fontaine notched his fourth goal on a rebound chance near the FSU net. It was assisted by Jake Southgate and Ethan Zielke.
The goal stood despite opportunities for Ferris State to notch the equalizer in each of the final two periods. FSU outshot Lindenwood by a 14-2 margin in the final period.
