Oakland University garnered two much-needed wins to stay near the top of the ACHA Central Region Rankings this weekend as the Grizzlies defeated Miami-Ohio and Ohio State.
"We really needed to have a good weekend if we wanted to stay in the top two," stated OU head coach Sean Hogan. "I think we will be there, but it will be up to the ranking members."
Friday night versus Miami, Oakland took a 7-3 win. Will McMahon netted a hat trick while Brent Cooper, Adam Chornoby, Jordan Ingram and Nick Ranck (first goal as a Grizzly) added solos. Andy Hansen made 28 saves in net.
Miami rebounded with a 5-4 win Saturday. Chris Joswiak made 22 saves in the loss and defenseman Dale Swims netted his first goal of the year.
OU played its third game in three nights Sunday and beat the Buckeyes, 8-3. The Grizzlies received a hat trick from Cooper, two goals from captain Brandon Lipari and single goals from Ranck, McMahon and Ingram. Hansen stopped 34 shots.
Oakland will finish up its home schedule with Grand Valley State Friday night at 8:30 p.m. at the ONYX. It’ll be Senior Night as Dan Oleksy, BJ Belliotti, Anthony Magdowski and Ronnie Teasdale will play their last home game for the Grizzlies.

With the Lakers still upset from the clearly missed call, the Wolverines added two more goals to take an early 4-1 lead. Only from the hard work of Tejchma did the Lakers pull with to head to the locker room down 4-2 scoring both goals in the period.
