No. 7 Cyclone Hockey defeated No. 6 Central Oklahoma 5-2 on the road in a two-game series opener on Friday in Oklahoma City.

The team split the series with Central Oklahoma when the Bronchos came to Ames earlier this season.

The Cyclones found themselves down 1-0 until midway through the second period. Colton Kramer earned the equalizer to tie the game at one.

Later in the period, the team found themselves with a 5-on-3 power play, but Central Oklahoma grabbed a loose puck and netted another goal. It gave the Bronchos a 2-1 lead heading into the third period.

The Cyclones responded well.

Three minutes and 51 seconds into the third period, Adam Alcott fed a pass to A.J. Gullickson, who was able to tie the game at two goals a piece.

One minute and five seconds later, Cyclone Hockey took the lead. Aaron Azevedo put a shot past UCO goalie Alex Henry to put the Cyclones up 3-2.

The team got two more goals from Clayton Janecke and Jon Severson to take home the victory in game one.

They will face UCO again Saturday night with the puck dropping at 7:30.
