IOWA STATE 4, OKLAHOMA 2

The No. 4-ranked University of Oklahoma® Hockey club continued its inconsistent ways in 2007 tonight with a 4-3 loss to No. 6 Iowa State in Ames, Iowa. The Cyclones got on the board first with a power play goal at 7:32 to take a 1-0 lead. The Sooners tied the game just 39 seconds into the second period when Michael Gray put the puck past the Cyclones goalie while OU was on the power play. Iowa State scored again at 12:39 to re-take the lead 2-1. Nineteen seconds into the third period, Iowa State took advantage of an Oklahoma miscue in its own end and scored to take a 3-1 lead over OU. Jordan Novak netted a goal for OU at 14:46 to bring the Sooners within a goal at 3-2. Oklahoma had a chance to tie the game with a late power play opportunity but the Cyclones held on against the OU pressure. Iowa State ended up icing the game with an empty net goal with 11 seconds left to make Friday night’s final 4-2 in favor of the Cyclones.

Sooners goalie Aaron Schmeilski stopped 28 of the 31 Iowa State shots he faced on the evening. Cyclones goaltender Trent Baker made 40 saves on 42 shots. OU was 1 of 6 on the power play while Iowa State was an efficient 2 for 3 with the man advantage. The loss drops OU’s season record to 23-4-0 while Iowa State improves to 22-8-1. The Sooners’ next game is Saturday afternoon in Des Moines against Iowa State at 3:00 PM.
