ARIZONA STATE 4, OKLAHOMA 1

The No. 15-ranked University of Oklahoma® Hockey club scored the first goal of the game but allowed No. 9-ranked Arizona State University four unanswered goals thereafter and lost to the Sun Devils tonight 4-1 in Oklahoma City. OU forward Shawn Webber got the scoring underway just over two minutes into the game with a nifty shot past ASU’s goalie to put the Sooners up 1-0. However, ASU scored a power play goal with less than 30 seconds to go in the period and both teams went to the dressing room tied at 1. In the second, ASU took advantage of OU penalties, scoring a 5-on-3 power play goal and followed by a 5-on-4 power play goal less than a minute later to put OU down 3-1. For the rest of the period, the Sooners tried to get back on the scoreboard but ASU’s speed and physical play made life difficult for the OU offense tonight. In the third period, ASU continued to frustrate the Sooners with their speed and forecheck, eventually scoring their only even-strength goal of the night after pouncing on a Sooner defensive miscue deep in the OU zone with less than ten minutes to go in the game to make the score 4-1. Arizona State was 3 for 8 on the power play tonight while OU was 0 for 5. Sooners’ goaltender Aaron Schmeilski stopped just 15 of the 19 Sun Devils shots he faced while ASU goaltender Kyle Bronsteen stopped 17 of the 18 Sooners shots he faced.

The Sooners are now 14-9-2 on the season while Arizona State improves to 14-10-0. The Sooners host Arizona State again tomorrow at 7:30 P.M. at Blazers Ice Centre.
