Grizzlies split at Leamington tourney
By Matt Mackinder
Oakland traveled to Leamington, Ontario, last weekend to take on some of the strongest competition in the ACHA in a two-day tournament and came away with a win and a loss.
On Saturday, OU was paired up against No. 1 Davenport University and it was the Panthers that would take it to the Grizzlies from the drop of the puck in a 7-2 beating.
"We were not ready to go,” OU head coach Sean Hogan said. “Everyone gets up to play us and we have to be ready every night. Tonight we were flat and uninspired.”
Will McMahon and Brent Cooper scored and Chris Joswiak and Andrew Hansen combined for 30 saves in net.
Sunday proved to be a different story for OU as the Grizzlies fired on all cylinders in beating Michigan State, 8-3.
