Indiana Drops a pair to Michigan State

The Hoosiers dropped their first pair of games of the GMHL regular season. Indiana traveled to historic Munn Arena and were defeated by the Spartans, 1-9 & 2-6.

Friday night, the Spartans came out flying and put up 8 goals before the Hoosiers' Reed Schafer dented the scoreboard. Five of the Michigan State goals were on the man advantage. When the Hoosiers would get momentum their attack would falter after being nailed for a penalty. Indiana racked up 22 minor penalties and were outshot 36-20.

Saturday, Indiana had a much more coordinated attack. The Hoosiers were able to skate with more intensity and passion, until the penalties caught up with them again. Shorthanded, Indiana wasn't able to match the Spartan speed and Michigan State was victorious 6-2. Reed Schafer netted his second of the weekend and Tyler Crowley put away his first of the season.

Next week the Hoosiers host The Fighting Illini of Illinois at 9:00pm on Friday and 3:30pm on Saturday.
