GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - After a disappointing 5-3 loss on Thursday night at Purdue Northwest, the Panthers rebounded nicely with a 5-1 win on Saturday at Patterson Ice Center over the No. 18 Pride. The Panthers were able to score in each of the three periods and did not give up a goal until the third period. PNW did have a slight edge in shots on goal 40-35 but netminder Nathan Gauthier had a fabulous game with 39 saves.

Ryder McMillen scored on the power play in the first period from Taber Gutschick and Branwen Pollett. Heath Drye also scored on the power play in the third period from Noah Bradburn and Justin Turner.
