FAIRBANKS - The Nanooks hockey team fell to Michigan Tech on Friday, Oct. 14 6-2 to fall to 2-3-1 on the young season. MTU moved to 2-1-0 on the season with the victory. 

The Huskies got the scoring started 16:02 into the first as Jake Crespi scored off of passes from Nick Nardella and Parker Saretsky. After Saretsky played the puck in the corner to the left of Alaska netminder, Matt Radomsky, Nardella put a shot on goal. Following Radomsky's stop, Nardella made an extra pass to Crespi, who beat a leaping Radomsky for the 1-0 lead. The second goal of the night was scored early into the second period as Brett Thorne capitalized on another set of Crespi and Nardlella passes. Crespi played the puck to Nardella near the wall, who then found Thorne in front of the Nanooks net for the goal, making it 2-0 only 1:12 into the second period.
