FGCU did tally six out of eight penalties throughout this match up, three of which were in the third period where Oakland took two good advantages to seal their lead and victory.

| SIUE Cougars Shock Eagles at Home FGCU Losing Streak Extended to Three Games October 19, 2012 by Kelly Panoc (Examiner.com) Friday evening, it seemed the FGCU D2 squad was skating in more of a fast, catch-up fashion, where things get choppy and even sloppy with puck handling as Southern Illinois pretty much dominated the puck and zone for the greater part of the first period. Goalie, Ryan Lynch, did have a rough night fending off shots; even though, in the end, FGCU actually out shot their guest this evening by almost a full twenty shots. This again, was simply the game of the opposing goalie, as he stopped more of less shots successfully... click here for full story |
| Eagles Stomp Cougars to Earn Series Split FGCU Scores Much Needed Victory on Home Ice! October 20, 2012 by Kelly Panoc (Examiner.com) Saturday evening brought an entirely different story as it was FGCU that handed down the onslaught to Southern Illinois U (SIUE). FGCU ran with Ryan Lynch starting in our net, as SIUE began with Jake Davis manning their goal also. FGCU struck first in this game, as (#3) Andy Hanno sank the puck (9:24) past Davis to launch a lead that only continued for this squad. Good and solid play this game on both teams parts, puck handling still a plus for SIUE, as they also snagged their first goal in the first (1:54) as they entered the first intermission deadlocked at one each... click here for full story |

Cleveland may rock but having a university room/condo a few yards from the beach, going to practice in shorts and flip-flops and playing for one of the best club hockey teams in the country are nice benefits for Kovesdy and his fellow native Northerner teammates. "People told me about FGCU, how it was a diamond in the rough," Kovesdy said. "Hockey in Florida? No way... click here for full story |
| Northeastern Huskies Sweep Eagles! FGCU's Run for a Southeast Regionals Bid Comes to an End February 3, 2013 Saturday evening marked the final match in the series between FGCU D2 and their hosted guest, Northeastern University. The opening period on Saturday evening between Northeastern and FGCU D2 was a different story then Friday.

This was a solid and tight squad that flew in from Boston that came to win. Their presence was felt on that ice immediately. The FGCU D2 squad was down a few players on their crew as some players chose to retain their eligibility to play for the next up and coming season, while others are still out with injuries.
