WESTMINSTER, Colo. – The University of Providence hockey program fell to the University of Texas 4-3 Friday afternoon.

Neither side scored the rest of the period as UP went into the break trailing by one.

Two minutes into the second period the Argos found the equalizer when a slap shot from Kaleb West bounced off the goaltender to Daniel Tainton who chipped it past the goaltender to tie the game at two.

Both teams went back and forth throughout the second period but with under a minute remaining a slapshot from Texas got past the screened goaltender as UP went into the third trailing 3-2.

Texas added a goal to begin the third, but with just under five minutes remaining Adam Husli found Friedrich on the two-on-one break and his wrist shot went five-hole to keep the Argos within one.

Despite the Argos pressuring for the final two minutes with an extra attacker, UP could not find the equalizer as the Argos season came to a close falling 4-3 to Texas in the West Regional.
