The Brock men's hockey team ran into a stubborn goalie during their home opener at Seymour-Hannah Arena on Friday.

Windsor Lancers goaltender Jonathan Reinhart made 46 saves to stonewall the Badgers, who buzzed around the Windsor net and manufactured scoring chances all game long.

Windsor won 6-3.

"We outshot them, but we didn't execute," said head coach Marty Williamson. "We need to cut down on the scoring chances we gave up."

Adam Berg notched a goal and an assist for Brock, while goalie Mario Cavaliere made 28 saves in the loss.

Windsor's Alex Friesen opened the scoring at 15:23, however first-year forward Mitchell Mendonca quickly replied with his first-career OUA goal to tie the game up before first intermission.

The Lancers cashed in three unanswered goals - Ethan Skinner scored twice and Anthony Salinitri netted a short-handed marker - in the second period despite the Badgers outshooting them 24-12.

In the third, Johnny Schaefer and Berg scored to pull within two goals, yet Ian Parker fired in an empty-net goal to close the game out.

Cole Thiessen and Justin Brack each finished the game with an assist.

Up next in OUA action, the Badgers (0-1) host the Toronto Varsity Blues on Thursday, Oct. 10 at 7:15 p.m. This weekend, the Badgers will play a pair of exhibition road games against NCAA opponents RPI (Oct. 5) and Quinnipiac (Oct. 6).
