Golden Hawks' three-game win streak snapped by Brock

ST. CATHERINES, Ont. - The Laurier Golden Hawks had their three-game winning streak snapped on Friday night as they fell 6-2 on the road to the Brock Badgers. 

Laurier's Patrick Brown got his team off to a great start by breaking over the Brock blueline and delivering a pass to a streaking Grayden Gottschalk, who used his backhand to redirect the puck past Andrew Maclean to open the scoring. The goal came on a Laurier power-play just over seven minutes into the opening frame and was Gottschalk's second power-play goal in the past three games. 

One of Laurier's Athletes of the Week Christian Propp continued his stellar play and stopped all 16 shots he faced in the first period. Laurier headed into the intermission on a penalty kill after James Thomson was penalized for a holding, but the Golden Hawks led the Badgers 1-0.

The second period opened with a flurry of Brock's goals. Just 1:45 into the second, Tyler Burnie beat Propp just before the Thomson penalty expired. A minute and a half later, Brock struck again as Jordan Stock tipped the puck past Propp. Brock got their third only thirty seconds later, opening the second with three goals in under four minutes.

Evan Benwell, who leads the Golden Hawks with four goals, buried an opportunity in front to bring the game within one on a power-play just before the period expired. 

Laurier couldn't beat Maclean in the third, as Brock scored three unanswered goals to secure a comfortable victory and dropped Laurier's record to 4-6-1.

The Golden Hawks look to turn things around on Saturday night at home when they host the Toronto Metropolitan University Bold. Puck drop is at 7 p.m. at the Sunlife Financial Arena.
