Ohio is on its home ice once again this weekend as it looks to face Kent State.
Ohio is coming off a hard-fought series sweep against Niagara, and it is looking to bring the energy of the second game against Niagara both nights. The Bobcat's first game against the Purple Eagles saw Laker Aldridge playing the hero, scoring in overtime to give Ohio a 2-1 win.
Saturday night was a completely different story, with 9 different Ohio players scoring goals throughout the night with Justin Damon holding Niagara to only 3 goals. Head Coach Lionel Mauron was particularly happy with Saturday's offensive performance since the Bobcats took advantage of every opportunity to score. Now, against the Golden Flashes, the Bobcats will have to continue to work as a unit to ensure that they can move the puck down the ice efficiently.
