Details and box to follow…..Redhawks take Game One, and the commanding lead in the series. The Refs took away a goal against NMU which tied it at 2-2, due to a call against Ben Lindemulder who was totally away from the play at the time on the opposite side of the faceoff circle. The CCHA refs are known for their corruption and bias, but this was simply unreal. A damn, damn shame.
