Still looking for answers, the Chargers host Northern Michigan this weekend at Propst Arena.

The teams met in Marquette four weeks ago, with the Wildcats taking both games by scores of 5-3 and 4-2. NMU needed an empty-net goal in each game to clinch victory.

The Chargers remain winless after 12 games, and most recently had their biggest setback on Saturday when they fell 7-0 at Bemidji State.

Christian Rajic had an assist in Friday’s 5-3 loss at Bemidji to tie the team lead in points with seven. Rajic had a goal and an assist against NMU in earlier this month.

Northern Michigan (7-5-2 overall, 5-3-0 WCHA) is coming off being swept in a home-and-home against its arch-rival, Michigan Tech. The two losses pushed NMU out of this week’s USCHO.com Top 20.

Griffin Loughran, who had a goal in each game against the Chargers, did the same against Tech to lead NMU with 11 goals in 14 games. He has 19 points total to lead the WCHA in both categories.

After this weekend with NMU, the Chargers head back on the road with series at Bowling Green and Ferris State before the holiday break. UAH’s next home series is January 9-10 against Bemidji State.

Promotions: Kids 12 and under can get free admission to both games at the Von Braun Center box office, courtesy of Huntsville International Airport.

For Black Friday, UAH hockey ornaments will be given to the first 300 fans.
