Ninth-ranked Adrian outshot Lake Forest 70-45 as the Bulldogs defeated the Foresters 5-0 on Friday.
Lake Forest had the game's first three shots on goal, as
Jax Schauer,
Yoan Gagnon and
Jonah Copre all fired shots that the Adrian netminder stopped. Then, the Bulldogs put pressure on the Forester defense and scored the game's first goal nine minutes into the period. It would remain that way until the closing seconds of the first, when Adrian added a second goal with just 0.1 seconds left on the clock to make the score 2-0 going into the first intermission.
The visitors took the momentum from the end of the first period and carried it into the second, scoring on an odd-man rush two minutes into the period. In the fifth minute, a Lake Forest turnover resulted in another Bulldogs goal. The Foresters were unsuccessful on a power play in the closing stages of the period before Adrian scored a fifth goal on another breakaway.
Trailing by five heading into the third, Lake Forest netminder
Jack Gedraitis made his collegiate debut. The freshman played the final 20 minutes of the match and held Adrian scoreless in the third period, racking up 10 saves. However, the offense struggled to find chances, and the game finished 5-0 for the visitors.
Lake Forest continues the weekend series against Adrian tomorrow, with puck drop set for 4 p.m. from the Alumni Memorial Fieldhouse.
