The Portland State Hockey Club split wins with visiting Eastern at the Winterhawks Skating Center in Beaverton over the weekend.
The Vikings, in new jerseys this season, cruised to a 6-3 victory Friday over the Eagles on the rink formerly known as the Valley Ice Arena.
On Saturday, the Eagles gained an early advantage from a power play goal and extended the lead to 2-0 by the end of the first period. The Vikings quickly closed the gap with goals from Stephen Eibert and Brandon Aiken to even the score at 2-2; then the teams traded goals in the final two minutes of the second period to head into intermission locked at 3-all.
The Eagles scored the winning goal seven minutes into the final period, and though Portland State outshot the visitors 52-23 on the day, they could not land any more in the back of the net.
