The Miami RedHawks got a two-goal performance from one of their sophomores for a second straight night, downing the Bowling Green Falcons, 3-1, to complete a weekend sweep. Jimmy Mullin tallied his third and fourth goals for his first multi-goal game of the season, while junior Bryon Paulazzo added the game-winner, his third.<\/p>\n
Miami coach Enrico Blasi was pleased to see more players involved in scoring for a team that has struggled to put points on the board in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
“We’ve played four lines the last couple of weekends now; it’s nice to see [Blake] Coleman going and Mullin going,” Blasi said. “It’s important to get everybody going. because you never which play is gonna make the difference.”<\/p>\n
The RedHawks built up a quick two-goal lead in the first half of the opening period on Mullin’s first goal and then Paulazzo’s. Mullin’s came on a feed in the slot from Coleman, beating Bowling Green senior goaltender Andrew Hammond top shelf at 5:20.<\/p>\n
Paulazzo made it a two-goal cushion at 10:28, as he caught Hammond out of position opposite a wraparound attempt.<\/p>\n
Paulazzo had only seen limited action in recent weeks, but was back in the lineup for senior Curtis McKenzie, who was serving a one-game suspension earned from Friday night’s disqualification. He had not scored a goal since Oct. 13 against Colgate. Mullin, whose last goal came Dec. 1 against Alaska, said the end of their personal droughts could spark the Miami offense.<\/p>\n
“We went through a drought there for a little bit, but you can’t keep us off the board for long; that was our motto,” Paulazzo said.<\/p>\n
The Falcons got one score back just before the close of the period. Freshman Dajon Mingo claimed his sixth goal of the season at 18:43 by deflecting in a shot by sophomore Dan DeSalvo, who had intercepted a clearing pass in the faceoff circle.<\/p>\n
Mullin earned his second tally of the night on a power play at 6:00 in the second period to push Miami’s lead to 3-1. Senior Steven Spinell fired a shot from the point that Mullin knocked in from where he waited on the doorstep for the final tally of the night.<\/p>\n
For the second night in a row, the Falcons were unable to convert on a five-minute power play. Coach Chris Bergeron said that was a key point that needed to be taken advantage of.<\/p>\n
“Our power play is struggling right now,” he said. “I felt like the intensity was better on the power play [than Friday night’s]. It felt like we had a little more zone time, but full credit to Miami. They block a lot of shots, or we hit them with a bunch, probably a combination of both. That’s something we need to work on.”<\/p>\n
Miami’s freshman goaltender Ryan McKay made 23 saves for his fifth win of the season, while Hammond stopped 31 shots in defeat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
