Daniel Bollingberg scored a goal in the first period on an assist from Kenny Ree.

“They’re a great team and we played right with them for most of the game,” Austin head coach Erik LaRock said. “We’ve got to find a way to come through in the third period.”

Jacob Johnson had 32 saves for Austin (3-18-1 overall, 0-14-1 Big Nine), which had 19 shots on goal.
