Even though both squads combined for five goals, the third period was highlighted by penalties with a combined 13, including a game disqualification to Miami’s Joe Cooper and FSU’s Chris Zarb (both players will be required to sit out the next game).
The RedHawks added a fifth goal 36 seconds into the third off streaking left-wing Jones; however, two minutes later, the Bulldogs ruined goal Jeff Zatkoff’s shutout bid on a Cody Chupp power play goal.
Davis, the assistant captain for Team USA at the 2006 IIHF World Jr. Championship, added the seventh goal to go with three assists. Davis was named the first star of the game.
The Bulldogs closed out the scoring with a Brendan Connolly power play goal 14:19 into the third.
Game Notes:
• The RedHawks have an upcoming home-and-home series against Ohio State next weekend with the Friday night game in Columbus. Ferris State will host Lake Superior in their weekend series.
• Davis’ five game point streak came to an end Friday, but he quickly started a new one with a goal and three assists. Davis is one point away from becoming the 38th RedHawk to reach the 100-point mark.
• Martinez’s goal was a mere five seconds behind Miami’s all-time record to start a game.
• Kaufman had three assists to join teammates Christie and Davis with three-point performances.
• The University of Michigan, second in the conference, kept pace with the CCHA-leading RedHawks by winning on the road 6-5 over Western Michigan. The Wolverines trail the RedHawks by two points in the table.

Sounds like nobody could save Ferris.
(Sorry. That one's been killing me all weekend. I love Big Rapids, honestly.)

It's been in my head too. I swear I had a dream lastnight with "Bueller?...Bueller?...Bueller?"

After left-wing Ryan Jones’ torrid weekend, he was, as expected, awarded the Central Collegiate Hockey Association’s Offensive Player of the Week. The captain from Chatham, Ontario, racked up five goals in the weekend series against Ferris State, including his first career hat trick Friday night. Jones received first and third star status on Friday and Saturday night respectively.
This is the third time in the junior’s career that he has received the aforementioned award.

BG hockey, on the other hand? Yuck.
We'll always have 1984.
