Kent State plans to make noise at Nationals March 5, 2010
On Friday the Flashes hit the road
to travel to the American Collegiate Hockey Association National
Tournament in Chicago. Kent State is ranked No. 12 in the country and will
face off against No. 5 Iowa State in the opening round on Saturday
afternoon. While the Flashes did sweep the Cyclones early in the season, they were shut out by Iowa State 5-0 just two weeks ago at the Central States Collegiate Hockey League playoffs. Kent State Headed for ACHA Div I National Tournament Feb 18, 2010
The Golden Flashes are headed to their 4th straight National Tournament in Chicago March 6-10 at the Edge. A few short weeks ago Kent St was on the outside looking in and a Tournament appearance seemed unobtainable. Wins over #1 Lindenwood and #3 Ohio provided the catalyst to propel the Golden Flashes to Chicago.
Kent St takes an impressive 23 wins into the tournament to face league rival Iowa State in the opening round. This is Kent States 7th National Tournament Appearance and 4th in a row. Flashes Take One Win at No. 3 Ohio Kent State split the weekend in Athens with a 4-3 overtime win on Friday night and a 5-4 loss on Saturday against Ohio University. The No. 15 Flashes were hoping to sweep the No. 3 Bobcats to help them slide into position for a trip to the American Collegiate Hockey Association National Tournament. “Both games were hard-fought battles until the last whistle,” Josh Martin said. “We knew coming into the weekend that we needed to have two good games and get a win or two to make it to Nationals.” For more on this story..... Kent State Completes Home Schedule with Two Wins The Flashes closed out their final home weekend by sweeping Eastern Michigan in a 3-2 win on Friday and a 6-3 victory on Saturday for Senior Night. “We did what we had to do,” assistant coach Eddie Martin said. “We came together as a team when we needed to.” Seniors Kye Budziszewski, Jon Canniff, Jon Moser and Ryan Gregory led the team to the win Saturday following a senior ceremony that recognized the players and their parents. Budziszewski was strong on defense, and Gregory was solid in goal. Moser scored late in the third period, and Canniff sealed a hat trick with an empty-netter at the end of the game. |
