WolfPack Lose To Koyotes Had Opportunities Again

06/06/09 - SPRINGFIELD, MO - Once again the Springfield WolfPack had opportunities to win their final regular season home game game against the Kansas Koyotes, but failed to score on their first possession and 4 other times in a 40-27 defeat.

On the first play of the game Kansas quarterback Carlos Kelley's pass was intercepted by Jonathan Frazier at the WolfPack 19 yard line, but Springfield squandered the chance turning to ball over on 4 downs. After running back Robbie DuBois picked up 20 yards on 3 carries, it was Kelly's 1-yard run into the end zone with 8:27 remaining to put Kansas on the board first. Springfield was 5 for 8 on 4th down plays, but could have used three of those conversions in the first half. The WolfPack were trailing by 27-0 late in the second quarter after a fumbled snap two interceptions stopped WolfPack drives in the red zone.

But with :10 left in the half, Brett Lovekamp's 34 yard reception (on a 4th down and 30), gave the WolfPack the ball on the Koyote 13 yard line. After a Kansas penalty, WolfPack quarterback Colby Hughes' 7-yard run with no time on the clock (and good extra point) broke the shutout.

Springfield scored first to start the second half, but only after getting the ball back on a turnover. Sean Nevills gave the WolfPack hope with a 1 yard TD run set up by Luke Shah's 13 yard reception (again on a 4th down play) and Springfield trailed 27-13 after a missed extra point.

DuBois' 10 yard run opened the gap for the Koyotes to 20 points (33-13) after the extra point was ruled no good with 6:30 left in the 3rd quarter. Then Allen's 35 yard reception in the 4th quarter took a bite out of the WolfPack opening a 40-13 lead.

Springfield used a 7 yard pass to Lovekamp with4:35 left in the 4th (2 point conversion failed) to trail by 21. Then with 53.8 seconds left in the game a 45 yard pass to Alberto Garcia put 6 more WolfPack points on the board. The 2 point conversion was good.

A goal at 3:29 of overtime by Danny Bethmann to gave Missouri State a 3-2 victory in the first game and a 3-3 overtime game won by the Ice Bears in a shootout, which is not recognized by the ACHA so it ended in a tie.

Saint Louis will be the host on October 23rd and 24th, then the Ice Bears will start a six game homestand with Illinois State, Northern Illinois and Lindenwood. Kansas, Missouri, Texas Tech, and Illinois round out the home schedule.
