Dominic Morrone was ready to return to the ice. The sophomore forward, who broke his right hand after taking a slash in the first week of practice, skated onto the ice with the game tied at one against Central Oklahoma. Morrone didn't hesitate in show ing his teammates what they've been missing, putting home a backdoor goal in the second peri od to give the leers a 2-1 lead, in a game they later won, 4-3, in over time. Morrone said he highly antici pated his return to play against the No. 16-ranked Bronchos, rather than facing unranked oppo nents Pittsburgh and Drexel in the first two series. “It was tough at first seeing the team always out there," Morrone said. "When I finally got out there, it was a great feeling. It was good to be back, especially against the team that knocked us out in the playoffs last season." But. Morrone's luck would soon learn well live well lionscrossing.com Morett said, and it dearly showed on the scoreboard “Our first half against Ohio State we did a lot of standing, and we credit Ohio State but I feel like [Tuesday! everybody was asking for the ball."
