NORTHFIELD, Minn. — The UW-River Falls men's hockey team opened its six-game road stretch with a 3-2 loss at St. Olaf College Friday evening.
The Falcons, now 9-7 overall, scored once on the power play and were led by a two-point game from
Reid Lune.
In the first period, the home team struck first but the Falcons tied the game four minutes later on the power play as
Cole Teleki one-timed his fifth goal of the season with assists to
Alex Atwill and Lune. The Oles scored on the rush late in the frame to lead 2-1 after 20 minutes.
After a scoreless middle frame, the Oles extended their lead to two goals as Connor Kalthoff scored unassisted four minutes into the third period. Just a few minutes later, Lune scored after an Ole turnover, his fifth of the season to trim the St. Olaf lead to 3-2 with 13 minutes left to play.
