March 12, 2004
COLUMBUS, Ohio - Freshman Bryce Anderson's second-period goal stood as the gamewinner as the No. 12 Ohio State men's hockey defeated Bowling Green, 3-2, Friday in Value City Arena. The win gave the Buckeyes a 1-0 lead in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association tournament first-round best-of-three series.
The No. 4-seed Buckeyes improved to 22-15-0 on the year, while the No. 9-seed Falcons drop to 11-17-9. The teams will face off for game two at 7:05 p.m. Saturday in Value City Arena. If necessary, game three will be at 7:05 p.m. Sunday in VCA.
Ohio State ended the opening period with a 2-0 lead. Matt Beaudoin (Fr., Rock Forest, Quebec) opened the scoring with a goal at 9:04, as he took assists from Dave Steckel (Sr., West Bend, Wis.) and Doug Andress (Sr., Iroquois Falls, Ontario). The assist was Steckel's 100th career point. Paul Caponigri (Sr., Oak Park, Ill.) scored at 19:20, picking off a Falcon clearing attempt and getting the puck past BGSU goalie Jordan Sigalet at 19:19 for his 15th goal of the year. BGSU jumped out to an 8-1 advantage in shots in the period, but OSU outshot the Falcons the rest of the way, 14-2, for a 15-10 edge in the period.
Anderson (Fr., Waterloo, Iowa) scored 4:04 into the middle period to put the Buckeyes up by three. Steckel's pass sent Anderson in alone on Sigalet, who beat the Falcon goalie with a backhand. Sean Collins (Fr., Troy, Mich.) had the second assist on the goal. OSU put 14 shots on net in the period; BGSU had 10.
The Falcons cut OSU's lead to one with two goals in a 1:11 span early in the third period. Mark Wires tallied at 3:51, followed by a Ryan Barnett score at 5:02. BGSU pulled Sigalet with 1:15 remaining for the extra attacker, but the Buckeyes held on for the win. OSU outshot the Falcons in the period, 11-10.
Buckeye goalie Mike Betz (Elizabeth, Pa.) stopped 28-of-30 Falcon shots, while Sigalet made 37 saves on 40 Buckeye attempts.
The Buckeyes did not score on their one power-play chance in the game and stopped the Falcons on all three of their chances.

Postgame Quotes
Bowling Green University head coach Scott Paluch
On the game
"I think we did a lot of things necessary to win a hockey game. We gave up too many second chances in the first and second periods. Ohio State is a deep team and they will capitalize on any chances you give them. But overall, I liked the way our team was playing. We created some good chances and gave ourselves some opportunities."
Ohio State head coach John Markell
On the Buckeyes' performance
"We weren't paying attention to detail. We didn't play a 60-minute hockey game. I give Bowling Green credit. They came in and played hard. We'll take the win, but will prepare for a tough game tomorrow."
On goalie Mike Betz
"Mike is a true senior and leader of our team. There are a lot of guys in that dressing room who can thank him for his performance and leadership."
Senior forward Dave Steckel
On the game
"I feel the same way coach does about the game. It didn't feel like a win in the lockerroom. We had a lot of lapses mentally - we gave up zones by bad passing and didn't get the puck in deep."
On Mike Betz
"He's awesome. He's the backbone of the team. Mike had a lot of great saves. I give him sole credit for keeping the score 3-0 going into the third."
Freshman forward Bryce Anderson
On his goal
"It was a good play by Steckel. He was able to turn the puck up in transition right away. I just made a move and buried it."
