ADRIAN,MICH.-The ACHA Division 1 hockey team faced-off in a pair of GLCHL conference games on Friday and Saturday as a home and home series with the Western Michigan Stallions. The Bulldogs walk away with two wins in conference play defeating the Stallions by scores of 4-0 and 8-3. 

After a scoreless first period Friday night, the Adrian came out with a bang by scoring three goals in the second period. A pair of goals from freshman Joe Anstett at 14:14 and 5:45 with a goal from sophomore Kevin Sunde in between saw the Bulldogs leave the ice after 40 minutes of play with a 3-0 lead.  The Adrian shooters peppered the Western net in the third but Tom Ciaverilla's power play goal was the only one scored in the final frame as the Bulldogs skated away with a 4-0 win.  The Bulldogs outshot the Stallions 44-10 with sophomore Goaltender Jason Spada stopping all ten shots to earn the shutout. 

                Saturday the Bulldog offense showed up quick and often as Jordan Spear, a freshman, got the scoring started four minutes after the puck had dropped.  Adrian would score 2 more, getting goals from freshman Ryan Bachman and sophomore Spencer Bonomo, running the score to 3-0 before Western would get on the board.  The first period ended with the Bulldogs leading 3-1 and the lead would only widen from there.  The second period belonged to Adrian as three unanswered goals in the period pushed the score to 6-1 at the end of two.  Bonomo got his second of the day along with sophomore Alex Norman's power play marker, and senior Jared Semple's goal in the second.  Bonomo's second goal of the game ended up being the game-winner for the Bulldogs.  Western Michigan took advantage of an Adrian penalty that carried over from the second period and scored only 11 seconds into the third period earning their second marker of the night.  Bachman answered back less than three minutes later as he netted his second goal of the night.  Sophomore Joe Coffin  scored at the twelve minute mark of the period neared giving the Bulldogs their final goal of the night and pushing the score to 8-2.  The Stallions would score again but they would not find enough offense to challenge the lead built by Adrian.  Freshman Matt Anderson stood tall in net for the Bulldogs earning the win. 

The Bulldogs will look to continue their dominance in conference play as they face off against GLCHL opponents Eastern Michigan in Ypsilanti on Thursday night.
