The UAH club hockey team lost to Ole Miss 6-1 on Saturday, resulting in a series split in Olive Branch, Miss.
The Chargers (8-8-1 overall, 6-4-0 College Hockey South), who won Friday night 4-1, remain two points away from securing their first CHS D2 playoff berth. UAH finishes the regular season next weekend at Georgia Tech.
Ole Miss improved to 6-15-0 overall and 3-9-0 in CHS play.
The Rebels got some energy after a fracas at center ice halfway through the first led to three penalties assessed to each team. They would eventually take a 1-0 lead at the first intermission on Doyle Coughlin’s goal with 5:32 remaining in the period.
Ole Miss scored three goals in the second period to pull away, then two more in the third before Matthew Diercks finally got UAH on the board.
The Chargers were shorthanded, resting top players Kolton Watts, Keaton Watts, and Josh Corrow along with goaltender Cameron Crawford.
