MIAMI HOCKEY: Second Period score….
And they STILL haven’t scored!
There’s been lots of fireworks, as several shoving matches … before and after the official’s whistles have blown … have occurred. A good fight broke out with just over 15 seconds to go in the second period.
Miam’s Curtis Mackenzie had St. Cloud’s Garrett Raboin down on the ice just to the right of the Huskies’ bench. Soon several other players got involved in the melee.
When it was all finished, three Miami players and SC’s Raboin found themselves in the penalty box. Miami’s Jarod Palmer will 1:45 left on his 2:00 kneeing penalty when play continues in the third period of regulation play. Helping him keep the penalty box seat warm are left wing Curtis McKenzie (2:00 for roughing after the whistle) and left defenseman Cameron Schilling (2:00 roughing after the whistle).
St. Cloud’s Raboin was also in the penalty box for roughing after the whistle.
Foreigner’s “Cold As Ice” played as the refs worked to sort out all the penalties.
SHOTS ON GOAL: Miami leads with 16 shots to 13 for St. Cloud, but the Huskies outshot Miami in the second period, 9-8.
GOALIE SAVES: St. Cloud’s Mike Lee has 16 saves, 8 in each period so far. Miami’s Connor Knapp has 13 saves, nine coming in the second period.
PENALTIES PENALTIES PENALTIES: Miami has been whistled nine times; St. Cloud has been whistled seven times.
Third period starts in 4 minutes. If you have any questions you’d like me to ask a Miami player or their coach, Enrico Blasi, feel free to pass them along. If they’re respectful I’ll consider asking them. Send questions to:; jbombatch@coxohio.com

MIAMI HOCKEY: First period score…
0-0!
Miami is ahead on shots on goal, 8-4, but neither team seems able to stage any kind of a breakaway opportunity. Several penalties early on.
Officials spoke with St. Cloud’s captain Garrett Raboin and Miami captain Tommy Wingels for a couple minutes after the period had come to a close.
There’s a pretty good crowd on hand for tonight’s game. Right now several youth figure skaters are demonstrating their new-found skills that they’ve acquired from lessons at the Goggin Ice Arena.
No sign of the zamboni yet, so they’re safe for now.
Some first-period statistics:
Penalty Summary Miami (5) Will Weber 2:00 Interference Matt Tomassoni 2:00 cross checking Tomassoni 2:00 Roughing after the whistle Tommy Wingels 2:00 Unsportsmanlike conduct Jarod Palmer 2:00 Cross checking
St. Cloud State (4) Mitch Ryan 2:00 Holding Aaron Marvin 2:00 cross checking Chris Hepp 2:00 Kneeing Sam Zabkowicz 2:00 Hooking
Miami’s Alden Hirschfield led the RedHawks with three shots on goal. Wingels was next with two.
Brian Volpei led the Huskies with two shots on goal.
Three of Miami’s shots were taken during the team’s one power-play opportunity. St. Cloud had one power play but failed to get off a shot on goal.
The RedHawks appear to be the more physical of the two teams thus far. Whenever a St. Cloud player looks to be driving into RedHawk territory, there’s usually a Miami player on hand to plant the Huskies player into the boards.
There was one collision of note at mid-ice between St. Cloud’s No. 16 Nick Oslund and Miami’s 17 (Andy Miele) or it might’ve been Miami’s No. 27 Matt Tomassoni. Sorry, I’m not positive. The collision seemed inadvertent, but Oslund appeared to get the worst of it. Unable to get back up onto his skates, the St. Cloud player made a vain attempt to crawl to the Huskies sideline before play was stopped. No word on the player’s condition at this time.
Second half starts in 3:13.

MIAMI HOCKEY: Game 2 vs. St. Cloud State
Hello from Goggin Arena here on the Miami University campus in Oxford.
Miami University returns to Steve Cady Arena (1-0-0) after Friday night’s exciting 3-2 overtime win. Carter Camper knocked in the winning goal 1:52 into the extra session to give the RedHawks their season opening win.
The RedHawks’ opponent will once again be the St. Cloud State Huskies, ranked 13th in the nation in one college hockey poll and 15th in another. Miami, by the way, is ranked as high as No. 1 in the USA Today poll, fourth in another.
It’s about 10 minutes before the opening faceoff. I hope to provide scoring updates as often as I can tonight. I hope you enjoy the coverage!

Report Card: Miami at Northwestern
REPORT CARD Miami at Northwestern
Pass offense
D
Zach Dysert’s first bad day. It had to come sooner or later, and he’s not the first Miami quarterback to have it come on a Big Ten Conference field. He completed only 16-of-37 passes for 176 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions. He also lost a fumble (which led to a Northwest touchdown) and allowed himself to be tackled in bounds as time ran down at the end of the first half (which cost Miami a chance at a touchdown or field goal). Dysert also was sacked seven times - that makes 17 sacks in two weeks. The fault, according to Mike Haywood, should be spread among the passer, the blockers and the receivers.
Run offense
C-plus
Thomas Merriweather did a nice job running with some strength after Andre Bratton was forced out in the first quarter with turf toe. Merriweather had a 16-yard run, his longest of the season, and finished with 52 yards on the ground after getting only 88 in his first five games. Dysert also did well on some, though obviously not all, scrambles and had 63 net rushing yards.
Pass defense
A-minus
Quarterback Mike Kafka had been hot, completing 71 percent of his passes over the three previous weeks. He wasn’t hot against the Redhawks, completing only 15-of-31 passes with no touchdowns and one interception, by Anthony Kokal. DeAndre Gilmore was a force on defense, making a team-high 12 tackles and breaking up three passes. Kokal finished with 10 tackles, Jordan Gafford had eight tackles (all solos) and broke up two passes, and D.J. Brown also broke up a pass.
Run defense
A
Anytime you hold a Big Ten team, on its home turf, to an average of 3.1 yards rushing, you’re doing something right. A lot of things, as a matter of fact. Jerrell Wedge had seven tackles, all solos. And Gilmore, a junior who has started at outside linebacker for five straight weeks now after seeing very little action during his freshman and sophomore seasons, established a career high with his 12 tackles. Gilmore, Wedge, Gafford and Kokal all could be MAC East Division Defensive Player of the Week candidates.
Special teams
B-minus
The RedHawks downed a punt on the Northwestern 1-yard line, they blocked a field goal, true freshman lineman Anthony Shoemaker intercepted a PAT pass after Northwestern had messed up the extra-point snap, and Miami senior punter Chris DiCesare had a better average (37.6) than Northwestern’s Stefan Demos (35.9). Miami still needs do better on returns, and the RedHawks were unable to convert their own 2-point attempt.
Intangibles
D
The RedHawks spent much of the afternoon doing exactly the things they knew to be poison to their hopes for an upset victory — not protecting the quarterback, multiple turnovers, silly penalties, mistakes in judgement. The RedHawks are young, but at some point they have to stop playing like rookies.

RedHawks lose to Northwestern
By Pete Conrad
The Miami RedHawks suffered a program-record 11th straight loss by falling to the Northwestern Wildcats 16-6 today, Oct. 10 at Ryan Field.
Miami avoided its third shutout of the season when redshirt freshman quarterback Zac Dysert threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to redshirt freshman wide receiver Andrew Cruse with 1:13 left in the game. The 2-point pass attempt failed.
It was the first career touchdown for Cruse, a graduate of Turpin High School.

Miami’s Bratton sidelined
By Pete Conrad
Miami senior running back Andre Bratton has not played since the first quarter of today’s game at Ryan Field for the RedHawks due to an apparent ankle injury.

Bratton has 11 yards rushing on three carries and one reception for 10 yards.
His replacement, Thomas Merriweather, has 33 yards on eight carries.

Miami trails by 10 at haltime
By Pete Conrad
Neither team scored in the second half, and the Northwestern WIldcats lead the Miami RedHawks 10-0 at halftime today at Ryan Field.
Miami moved deep into Northwestern territory in the final minute of the half but a major mistake by redshirt freshman Zac Dysert, who scrambled instead of throwing the ball away and was tackled at the 11-yard line as time ran out, kept the RedHawks scoreless.
Brayden Coombs had caught a 23-yard pass, giving Miami the ball at the Northwestern 15-yard line with 11 seconds left.
Dysert then spiked the ball, but the RedHawks later were forced to call their final time out with the game clock stopped but the field clock running down.

Miami trails Northwestern 10-0 after one quarter
By Pete Conrad
A 6-yard touchdown run by quarterback Mike Kafka with 5 seconds left in the first quarter has given the Northwestern Wildcats a 10-0 lead over the Miami RedHawks today at Ryan Field.
The touchdown run followed a personal foul (late hit) penalty called against Miami’s Anthony Kokal.
Northwestern’s Zeke Markshausen caught three passes for 43 yards on the drive.
On the previous possession Miami had driven to the Wildcats’ 28, but a quarterback sack followed by a tipped pass by Zac Dysert which was intercepted at the Northwestern 27 by Nate Williams snuffed out the drive.

Miami defense hanging tough at Northwestern
By Pete Conrad
Stefan Demos’ 46-yard field goal has produced the only points today at Ryan Field as Northwestern leads Miami 3-0 with 3:18 left in the first period.
Miami’s defense forced Northwestern to punt after allowing just 1 yard on the Wildcats’ second possession.
