Air Force Edges CC

Box Score

Jordan Himley scored twice, including the game-winner with 35.9 seconds remaining, to give Air Force a 4-3 victory over Colorado College Friday night at Cadet Ice Arena.
 
Himley capitalized on a 2-on-1 after taking a pass from Tyler Ledford inside the CC blue line and beat Tiger goalie Tyler Marble to give the Falcons their third straight victory in the series. With the win, Air Force improved to 5-6-2 on the season.
 
The Tigers battled back from a 3-1 deficit to tie the game with goals from senior Hunter Fejes and Trey Bradley. Fejes took a centering pass from freshman Mason Bergh and sent a shot from the slot into the net to close the gap to 3-2 with 7:46 remaining in the second period. Sophomore Duggie Lagrone earned his second assist of the night on Fejes' 15th career tally.
  
Bradley then scored his team-high fifth goal of the season on the power play six minutes into the third period to even the score at 3-3. AFA's Dylan Abood chipped a pass off the boards after a check from CC  junior captain Sam Rothstein and the puck went right to Bradley, who cut to the front of the net and placed a backhander past Air Force netminder Shane Starrett.
 
The Tigers (0-13) took a 1-0 lead late in the first period on Bergh's first career goal. He skated in front of the net and tipped in a wrister from the point by Lagrone, who posted the first point of his career on the play. Freshman Ben Israel collected the second assist.
 
Air Force stole the momentum back by scoring three goals in the first half of the second period. Lagrone was called for a tripping penalty just 10 seconds into the frame and the Falcons took advantage right away as Max Hartner banged in a shot from the crease 17 seconds later. Jonathan Kopacka picked up the first of his three assists on the play and Phil Boje also assisted.
 
Boje added another power-play goal at the 7:45 mark and Himley put the Falcons up 3-1 with a shot from the slot that beat Marble at the 10-minute mark.
 
Marble finished with 25 saves, while Starrett had 28. CC's 31 shots were the most in a game since putting 48 on net against UMass in the second game of the season on Oct. 10.
 
The same two teams will battle again on Saturday, Nov. 28 at The Broadmoor World Arena. The puck drops at 7:07 p.m.
