LAKE FOREST, Ill. – MSOE hockey hopped into conference play for the first time this season, heading to Lake Forest to take on the Foresters. The Raiders let a two goal lead slip away late but still came away with more points in the standings than their opponents thanks to a shootout victory.

FINAL SCORE IN OVERTIME
(RV) MSOE RAIDERS – 4
(RV) Lake Forest – 4

MSOE wins the shootout 1-0.

HOW IT HAPPENED

• The first period came and went without any (RV) MSOE (1-0-2, 0-0-1 NCHA) or (RV) Lake Forest goals (2-1-1, 0-0-1 NCHA) but the same could not be said about the second.
• The middle frame featured a total of six tallies, four of which belonged to the Raiders. Nigel Nelson, Eliot Friedow, Garrett Gintoli, and Matt Hanewall all found the back of the net and Kyle Herbster was busy as well, assisting on three of the four tallies.
• Down 4-2 entering the third, the Foresters scored two goals in the final two and a half minutes to force overtime.
• Neither team scored in the 3-on-3 period, but the Red & White came away with the extra point as they won the shootout 1-0.

RAIDER REMARKS

• The Raiders have gone three straight games without a defeat against the Foresters and are 4-3-3 in their last ten contests vs. LFC.
• MSOE was shutout on the power play going 0-5. Their penalty kill was still effective however as they allowed just one goal in five Lake Forest extra man chances.
