The Seawolves got key contributions from a pair of forwards who grew up in Anchorage to notch their second victory in a row.
The University of Alaska Anchorage men’s hockey team was back on its home ice on Friday night at the Avis Alaska Sports Complex, and with a 3-1 win over visiting Air Force in front of a lively crowd, the Seawolves had a pair of firsts come to fruition.
The freshman forward spent the last two years starring for his hometown’s junior hockey franchise, the Anchorage Wolverines. Westin was playing in his first game back from injury and was able to give the Seawolves the initial lead at the 13:23 mark in the first period following assists from Carson Kosobud and Davis Goukler.
The Seawolves defended well against the Air Force power play for the vast majority of the night but couldn’t hold on for the final four seconds in one of their short-handed situations about halfway through the second period, and Air Force was able to knot the game up at 1-1.“We’ve been happy with our penalty kill so far this year and happy with special teams overall on both sides,” Shasby said.
“You got to love it when you see Anchorage kids on the score sheets, especially at those home dates,” Shasby said. Even though he wasn’t able to hold Air Force off the scoreboard entirely, sophomore goaltender Jared Whale had a strong night overall, stopping 31-of-32 shots from reaching the back of the net.
