The Chargers continue their homestand with a two-game WCHA series against Bowling Green.
All-time series: Bowling Green leads the series 17-4-1, including a 10-2-0 mark since both programs joined the WCHA. In Huntsville, the Falcons lead 7-3-0. Last season, UAH and BG split at the VBC with the Chargers winning 7-5 and the Falcons winning 5-0.
Charger recap: UAH (4-8-2 overall, 4-4-2 WCHA) continues to search for its first home win of the season. The Chargers kicked off a three-series home stand against Alaska, getting a 3-3 tie (losing a 3-0 lead and the extra point in the 3-on-3 overtime) and a 3-1 loss.
Josh Kestner moved to the team lead in points with 10 after getting an assist last Friday. Max McHugh still leads the club with five goals. Kurt Gosselin had two assists in the Alaska series to give him eight points on the season and a four-game point-scoring streak.
