ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 4-ranked University of Michigan ice hockey team's early one-goal lead over top-ranked Miami stood for only 1:39 before the RedHawks scored the first of five unanswered goals in a 5-1 U-M loss on Saturday at Yost Ice Arena.
After a scoreless first half of the opening period, sophomore left wing David Wohlberg (South Lyon, Mich.) deflected the puck to beat goaltender Cody Reichard on his right side at the 10:43 mark in the first period. Sophomore right wing Robbie Czarnik (Washington, Mich.) collected the puck from the right corner and then fed it back to senior defenseman Steve Kampfer (Jackson, Mich.), who launched a shot from the right point. Wohlberg redirected it in for his first tally of the season and Michigan's first shot on goal in the game.
The RedHawks recorded the equalizer with 7:38 remaining in the opening frame during four-on-four play. Miami center Pat Cannone beat junior netminder Bryan Hogan (Highland, Mich.) glove side on a shot from below the right faceoff dot to even the game up at one goal apiece.
Miami grabbed its first lead of the evening 7:32 into the middle frame thanks to the efforts of center Andy Miele. The junior forward dug the puck out of the left corner, sending it through a Michigan player's legs to the bottom of the faceoff circle. Miele then cut across the front of the net from left to right and fell to one knee while maintaining control of the puck to backhand it toward the net, where Hogan's kick-save attempt pushed the puck past the goal line.
The RedHawks padded their lead to make it a 3-1 game when Smith posted his first marker of the season with 5:10 remaining in the second period.
A goal from Curtis McKenzie 4:46 into the final stanza extended the RedHawks' lead to three.
With defenseman Tristin Llewellyn (Ann Arbor, Mich.) and junior center Matt Rust (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) in the box, Smith flicked a Miami rebound up into the cage for his second marker and Miami's fifth of the game. As tempers flared after the goal, a scrum broke out behind the Michigan net making for two crowded penalty boxes 6:26 into the final stanza. The heated contest featured 34 total penalties for 95 minutes as the rivals recorded a combined 147 PIM in the weekend series.
The Wolverines remain at home to host in-state rival Michigan State next Friday (Nov. 13) at Yost Ice Arena. The puck will drop at 7:35 p.m. and FS Detroit will broadcast the action.
