USAF ACADEMY, Colo. - Andrew Ramsey and Jeff Hajner each scored two goals as Air Force beat Army, 4-1, in an Atlantic Hockey Association game Friday night at the Cadet Ice Arena.

Air Force moved into a tie for third place with Army with 23 points. The Falcons are now 12-8-5 overall and 9-3-5 in the league. Army fell to 10-9-3 overall and 10-6-3 in the AHA. AFA has now lost just once in the last 10 games (5-1-4).

Hajner, a freshman winger from Las Vegas, put the Falcons on the board at the 7:53 mark of the first period. After Theo Zacour won a faceoff, Hajner fired a shot that beat Black Knight goalie Josh Kessel. With 3:24 left in the first period, Army tied the game on a somewhat controversial goal. Luke Flicek created a turnover in AFA's end and took a shot that was saved by Ben Worker. Bryce Hollweg then followed with a shot that was saved under the pads. Just as a whistle blew, the puck came free and slid over the line to tie the game at 1-1. Hollweg was credited with the goal from Flicek.

The Falcons then scored the next three goals of the game. Ramsey scored the eventual game-winner on the power play at the 12:29 mark of the second period. Mike Phillipich made a no-look pass to Eric Ehn in the slot. Ehn found Ramsey wide open on the right side for a 2-1 lead.

Ehn, a junior from Dexter, Mich., had two assists on the night and still leads the nation in scoring with 45 points (19-26-45) in 25 games.

AFA was 1-for-5 on the power play while Army was 0-for-4. The Falcons out-shot the Black Knights, 28-22, in the game. Worker, a senior from Thief River Falls, Minn., made 21 saves. He has started three of the last four games and has a 2-0-1 record. Kassel made 24 saves for Army.

The same two teams conclude the series Saturday, Jan. 20, at 6:05 p.m. at the Cadet Ice Arena.
