LAKE FOREST, IL – The Lake Forest College men’s hockey team dropped a pair of Northern Collegiate Hockey Association home games over the weekend (January 20-21). UW-Superior defeated the Foresters 3-2 Friday evening and the College of St. Scholastica prevailed 5-3 on Saturday night. Lake Forest fell to 9-10-0 overall on the year and 3-5-0 in NCHA play. Superior raised its record to 10-6-2 overall and 3-2-2 in the league and St. Scholastica is now 13-6-0 overall and 4-4-0 in the conference.

Sophomore Adam Tobias (Rockford, IL/Robert Morris University) opened the scoring on Friday with an unassisted shorthanded goal at the 12:45 mark of the second period. Superior tied the score at 17:03.

The home team regained the lead on a power play goal by senior Cory Wilson (Calgary, AB/Calgary Royals) at 6:05 in the third. Junior Graham Melbourne (Belleville, ON/Trenton Sting) assisted on Wilson’s fourth of the season. The Yellowjackets drew even again at 12:31 and their game-winner was a shorthanded goal at 17:26.

Freshman goaltender Brandon Kohuch (Winsdor, ON/Chatham Maroons) stopped 35 of 38 shots on goal in the contest and now owns a .923 save percentage on the season.

After St. Scholastica jumped out to a 2-0 lead after one period on Saturday, the Foresters evened the score on goals by Tobias at 1:51 and 4:19 of the second. Freshman Chris Wilson (Bloomfield Hills, MI/Cornwall Colts) assisted on the first and classmate Peter Morrison (Roseville, MN/Roseville High School) on the second, the eighth of the season for Tobias. The Saints, however, regained the lead with 4:56 to play in the period.

St. Scholastica scored to take a 4-2 lead at the 14:19 mark of the third period. Lake Forest pulled back to within one at the 17:13 mark on junior Brian Lee’s (Calgary, AB/Calgary Royals) fifth goal of the year. He was assisted by freshman Mike Kneeland (Calgary, AB/Calgary Royals), who leads the team with 27 points on the season.
