Charger's slide continues

Jamie Gilliam, UAH Sports Information

The Chargers headed on the road to take on the Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks desperately needing to stop the slide of recent days. What the blue and white ended up with is a pair of tough hard-fought and hard to swallow losses as UAH dropped to below .500 for the first time this many games in a season since the school's first adventure into Division I hockey in the 1990-91 season.

Coming out playing hard on Friday night, UAH got on the scoreboard before four minutes had elapsed in the contest as sophomore Jackson Harren connected on a Jason Tinwick pass to score his first career UAH goal and put the Chargers out in front 1-0. Just when it appeared the Chargers would head into the first intermission with a 1-0 lead the Mavericks found their first goal of the night with 11 ticks left on the clock at the 19:49 mark of the first.

After skating through a scoreless second period, the Mavericks came out hot in the third and took a 2-1 lead off of a Shane Glover goal 45 seconds into the period. Glover netted the Mavs third goal of the night and the eventual game-winner at the 6:54 mark of the third.

Down 3-1, Jason Hawes and the Charger offense turned up the heat and pulled the lead back to one at the 10:17 mark of the period before the Chargers gave up an empty-net goal with 25 seconds remaining in the contest. In a losing effort, junior Mark Byrne turned away 34 UNO shots in the loss.

On Saturday night, UAH dug themselves a hole falling behind 2-0 before the first period was done. The Chargers fought back hard however as Hawes took a Joel Bresciani pass and opened the scoring for UAH pulling the Mavs lead back to one goal.

The score remained 2-1 through two before Bresciani took a pass from Hawes at the 2:22 mark of the third and knotted the game at two. Things were clicking for the Chargers in the final two periods as they outshot UNO 14-6 in the second and were hammering away in the third before an errant pass wasted a power play chance and Glover scored a short-handed measure to put the game away for UNO.

The Chargers will take two weekends off before traveling to face off against St. Cloud State, one of the top teams in collegiate hockey.
