Ferris State's Eric Alexander (17) gets hit against the boards during Saturday's home game in Big Rapids against 16th-ranked Western Michigan in Ewigleben Ice Arena. (Ed Hyde, FSU Photographic Services)Ferris State University had a solid weekend of college hockey as it hosted nationally-ranked Western Michigan University, it's U.S. 131 rival in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association.
The Bulldogs of head coach Bob Daniels picked up a 3-1 win on Friday, but had to settle for a 2-2 tie (with a shootout loss) on Saturday evening in Ewigleben Ice Arena in Big Rapids.
A win and a tie against Western, ranked 16th, is a successful weekend for the Bulldogs who made life tough on first-year Broncos head coach Jeff Blashill, a former FSU goaltender and assistant coach.
This was a much-needed productive weekend for the Bulldogs coming off the disappointment the week prior with two shutout losses (1-0, 4-0) in the Upper Peninsula's Sault Ste. Marie to Lake Superior State University.
Tuesday, Ferris travels to East Lansing to take on No. 17 Michigan State University in a 7:08 p.m. contest in Munn Ice Arena.
