FAIRBANKS, Alaska - The Lake Superior State hockey team fell by a final score of 2-0 against the Alaska Nanooks on Friday, Jan. 10 in a Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) game at the Carlson Center in Fairbanks, Alaska. 

In the first period, the Lakers would come close to grabbing a 1-0 lead when Ashton Calder connected a pass to Max Humitz and Humitz would fire a shot on goal that beat Nanooks goaltender Gustavs Grigals.

At 3:19 of the third period, Alaska would break the scoreless tie when Logan Coomes scored his first goal as a Nanook to give the team a 1-0 lead. The goal, which was reviewed for offsides, was assisted by Filip Fornaa Svensson and Eriks Zohovs.
