The Lakehead Thunderwolves mens hockey team lost a hard fought 2-1 game to the Waterloo Warriors Saturday night at the Columbia Ice Fields arena in Waterloo, Ontario. The loss puts Lakeheads OUA record at 1-1 (3-4 overall) and Waterloo also goes to 1-1 (3-2-1 overall) in OUA play.
Mark Soares scored Lakeheads only goal while Sean Moir and Jordan Brenner scored for Waterloo.
Lakehead jumped out to the lead at 5:09 on Soares powerplay goal but Moyer tied it up at 19:20; also on the powerplay. Brenner scored for the Warriors 39 seconds into the second and that would be all the scoring as Waterloos Curtis Darling and Lakeheads Chris Whitley played some excellent hockey; both making numerous good saves.
