10/16/2009

The Bowling Green State University hockey team will face-off with the United States Under-18 national team tonight in an exhibition matchup at the BGSU Ice Arena.

The contest is scheduled to start at 7:05 p.m.

"They're a very highly skilled team and it's going to be one of those games that we have to make sure we don't turn the puck over," BG interim coach Dennis Williams said. "We're going to be very physical with these guys.

"We're going to really minimize our mistakes. We've got to control what we can do and make sure pucks get deep. We can't get those lazy penalties and we've got make sure we're playing five-on-five hockey and we're executing what we want to accomplish."

The Falcons are coming off a weekend road trip in which they fell 3-2, 4-1 at Mankato, Minn.
