ITHACA, N.Y. - The Wayne State men's hockey team suffered a 2-0 defeat at 12th-ranked Cornell on Sunday afternoon, as the Big Red salvaged a split out of the weekend series.
Wayne State committed 12 penalties, but held Cornell to just one power-play goal in 10 opportunities. The Warriors, meanwhile, went scoreless on seven chances.
The scoring was confined to the second period, with Raymond Sawada netting the game-winner at the 5:54 mark, assisted by Mark McCutcheon and Topher Scott. McCutcheon added a power-play tally at 9:26 from Jared Seminoff and Sawada to seal the victory.
Wayne State goaltender Will Hooper (Woodbridge, Ont./Wexford Raiders) made 26 saves in the losing effort, while his Cornell counterpart Troy Davenport finished with 21 saves in his first collegiate shutout.
The Warriors return home next weekend, Dec. 1-2, to take on CHA rival Bemidji State at the Michigan State Fairgrounds Coliseum. For ticket information, call 1-866-WSU-TIKS.
