Big Rapids, Mich. - The Ferris State University men's ice hockey team fell 7-2 to the nationally 18th-ranked Bemidji State Beavers on Saturday (Feb. 6) night inside the Ewigleben Ice Arena in Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) play.
Ferris State junior forward Jake Transit had a goal and an assist in the effort for the Bulldogs.
The Bulldogs jumped out to an early lead when Bemidji State goaltender Michael Carr coughed up a puck playing it out of the zone, where Transit picked it off and fired it into the empty net for his fifth goal of the year at 3:25 of the first period.
Minutes later, Ferris State went ahead 2-0 when senior forward Marshall Moise scored his second of the year, finessing his way down the left wing lane and backhanding a shot past Carr at 5:38 of the opening period. Freshman forward Antonio Venuto (4) and Transit (6) picked up helpers on the play.
The Beavers responded when Owen Sillinger registered a natural hat trick, scoring at 6:38 of the first and 54 seconds of the second period on the power play, before a shorthanded goal at 12:26 of the middle frame for a 3-2 Beaver lead.
His brother Lukas Sillinger tallied next on the man advantage at 17:46 of the second period to make it a 4-2 game.
