The No. 15-ranked University of Oklahoma® Hockey club played mediocre tonight and went down to defeat at the hands of No. 11-ranked University of Arizona by a score of 5-3 at the Blazers Ice Centre in Oklahoma City.

However, Arizona scored again with just over three minutes to go in the period to take a 4-3 lead to the locker room at the second intermission. Arizona scored again almost eight minutes into the third period and coasted from there to a 5-3 win over the Sooners.
