The UAH club hockey team saw its four-game win streak snapped Saturday as the Alabama AAU D1 team bit back with a 4-3 overtime decision at the Huntsville Ice Sports Center.

A day after the Chargers sniped the Tide 3-2 in overtime, UAH surrendered a 3-0 lead to fall to 4-2-1 on the season. Alabama improved to 5-4-0.

Keaton Watts scored the first two Charger goals, one coming three minutes into the contest, the other on a tap-in rebound two minutes into the second period.

At the 4:36 mark of the second, Josh Corrow’s back-hand pass from behind the goal line found Henry Hoff all alone in the slot, and Hoff buried it to give UAH a 3-0 lead.

The Frozen Tide got on the board with three minutes left in the second on a Dylan Dreveny goal. Early in the third, Finn Forster cut UAH’s lead to 3-2.

Alabama then tied the game halfway through the third on a Matt Dumond power-play goal that wasn’t without controversy. The UAH bench was very vocal as it appeared a lineman missed an offsides call against the Tide right before the goal.

The Chargers survived a late Kolton Watts interference penalty that extended into overtime, but Seb Henault scored the game-winner for the Tide with 1:51 remaining.

Andrew Sledge made 38 saves, including some big saves in the overtime penalty kill to keep the Chargers alive. The Tide outshot the Chargers 42-32.

Kolton Watts scored two goals to lead the UAH club hockey team to a 7-5 win over Middle Tennessee on Saturday for a series sweep.

The Chargers (3-1-1) have won three straight to start College Hockey South play. MTSU falls to 1-5-0 overall and 1-3-0 in league play.

A much quieter first period compared to Friday’s frenetic game, but there were still many shots on goal to be had. UAH outshot MTSU 16-15 in the period.

This time it was the Chargers who scored first, with Elijah Howard netting his first goal of the season from the slot at the 6:35 mark. However, Brendan Ogle would equalize for the Blue Raiders almost a minute later.

Things picked up in the first half of the second period, however. Keaton Watts and Kolton Watts scored to put UAH up 3-1, but Middle Tennessee fought back to tie the game by the halfway point.

MTSU took its first lead of the game at the 2:43 mark of the third, but Josh Corrow, who had a hat trick in Friday’s 13-7 win, rifled a score from the left side just five seconds into a UAH power play to tie the game at 4-4.

Zachary Giblin put the Blue Raiders up again near the halfway point of the third. The Chargers then showed resiliency yet again, tying the game at 5-5 as Kolton Watts finished a tic-tac-toe play with Keaton Watts. Kolton has a team-leading seven goals on the year.

With 7:11 to go, Henry Hoff took a snipe up the middle to regain the lead for the Chargers at 6-5. Then with under two minutes to go, Hoff finished the 7-5 win with a goal on a two-on-none with Bradly McDonald.

Drew Sledge played in goal for UAH, stopping 32 of 37 MTSU shots. UAH had 45 shots on goal in the contest.

The Chargers have the next weekend off before hosting Alabama’s AAU D1 team in non-conference action at the Huntsville Ice Sports Center on Oct. 13 and 14.

The UAH club hockey team rolled to an 13-7 win over Middle Tennessee on Friday night in Antioch, Tenn.

UAH (2-1-1 overall, 2-0-0 College Hockey South) actually fell behind 3-0 in the first ten minutes, but then cruised to win the opener of the two-game set. Game two against MTSU (1-4-0, 1-2-0) Saturday night is at 8:45 p.m.

It was the worst possible start for the Chargers, who allowed goals on the first two MTSU shots in the first minute of play. Add a power-play goal at the halfway point of the opening period and the Blue Raiders rolled to a 3-0 lead.

UAH was short-handed again after that third goal, but got on the board 44 seconds later. Keaton Watts stole the puck at center ice and then scored high stick-side from the left circle, cutting MTSU’s lead to 3-1.

The Chargers tied the game at 3-3 with back-to-back power-play goals 1:30 apart on blasts from Josh Corrow and Bradly McDonald. Then with 1:01 remaining in the first, Henry Hoff gave UAH its first lead as he roofed in a rebound.

About seven minutes into the second period, UAH scored three goals in a span of 32 seconds to lead 7-3. Kolton Watts, Corrow, and Nathan Litton provided the tallies.

MTSU got one back with 9:03 remaining in the period, but Corrow’s third goal of the night and Elijah Howard’s pickpocket in the slot gave the Chargers a 9-4 lead in the second intermission.

UAH outscored MTSU 4-3 in a garbage-time third period. Keaton and Kolton Watts, Hoff, and Jacob Harrison scored for the Chargers.

Cameron Crawford stopped 27 of 34 shots between the pipes for UAH, which outshot MTSU 42-34.

Keaton Watts’s power-play goal early in overtime gave the UAH club hockey team its first victory of the season, a 4-3 decision over Tennessee on Friday night at the Huntsville Ice Sports Center.

The Chargers got a four-point night from Keaton’s brother Kolton and 43 saves from goaltender Cameron Crawford to win the College Hockey South opener for both teams.

Tennessee (0-3-0 overall, 0-1-0 CHS) scored the opening goal halfway through the first period on a close call. Connor Frazer’s shot in the slot was just before a whistle, and the officials determined that the puck crossed the goal line past Crawford in time.

The Chargers (1-1-1 overall, 1-0-0 CHS) tied the game at 1-1 just under five minutes remaining in the second period when Matteo Siciliano’s blast from the left point found its way home. Kolton Watts and Henry Hoff got the assists on the power-play goal.

The Vols regained the lead about six minutes later on a Michael Consentino tally, but UAH equalized again with 1:07 to go in the period. Kolton Watts followed up a rebound from the right circle after a Charger breakaway to make it 2-2 after two.

Kolton scored his second goal of the night halfway through the third, taking Keaton’s pass from the defensive zone up the right wing and beating Patrick Green for UAH’s first lead.

The Chargers committed back-to-back tripping penalties, and Louis Gimbert tied the game for Tennessee at 3-3 with 2:19 left in regulation.

Then the Vols got the penalty bug, with boarding and roughing calls to set up a two-man advantage in the final 1:22 of regulation.

The game did go into overtime, and with a 5-on-4 advantage, Keaton Watts found the puck in the slot and wristed it home for the winner 52 seconds in.

The Chargers won despite the Vols holding a 46-30 advantage in shots.

Lake Superior State pulled away in the second period to defeat UAH 6-1 on Friday night in Game 1 of the WCHA quarterfinals series in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.

UAH (3-17-1) faces elimination heading into Saturday’s Game 2, which starts at 4:07 p.m. Central Time.

The Lakers (16-6-3) struck first at the 3:14 on a goal by Pete Veillette, who is too dangerous to be left alone. Veillette was unmarked as he took a pass from behind the net in front and quickly beat David Fessenden for his 12th goal of the season.

BOX SCORE

Lake Superior took a 2-0 lead eight minutes later on a power-play goal. Fessenden never saw the puck as it slipped between him and the post after flying through a screen off the stick of Brandon Puricelli in the right circle.

After a penalties on the Lakers at the end of the first period and 24 seconds into the second, UAH had a prime opportunity to come back. But despite having over a minute and a half of two-man advantage and scoring a goal, the Chargers found themselves no closer.

Lucas Bahn, dragging the puck to make a Laker defenseman commit, snapped the puck past Mitens for his second goal of the season to cut LSSU’s lead to 2-1.

The Lakers regained their two-goal lead with a short-handed goal just six seconds later. Veillette stole the puck in the UAH zone and quickly scored his second goal of the game.

LSSU then scored three goals in a span of 4:50 to pull away, starting with a Lukas Kaelble’s blast from the blue line to make it 4-1.

Fessenden’s night of tough breaks ended with 3:40 left in the second, when Alexandro Ambrosio’s shot, deflected by Jacob Nordqvist, hit his pad, went up in the air, and somehow fell in the net for a 5-1 Laker lead.

Derek Krall came in, and soon allowed a Miroslav Mucha goal that made it 6-1 at the second intermission. There was no scoring in the third period.

The Lakers outshot the Chargers 27-14.
