It wasn’t pretty – nearly giving up a four-goal lead never is — but Air Force pulled ahead early and held on late to knock off No. 8 Michigan State, 6-5, Thursday night. Whether it’s 8-1 Falcons — which it looked like it could be midway at one point or 1-0 — this win was…

Air Force learned a lesson Sunday night. Few college hockey teams can overcome their own mistakes against a sound defensive opponent. But in typical fashion, the Falcons showed resilience, rallying with an extra-attacker goal by Parker Brown to force overtime in an eventual 4-3 nonconference loss to visiting Lindenwood. The Lions’ David Gagnon scored three…
