BOULDER, Colo. -

The University of Colorado's Division 3 men's club hockey team did not get off to the winning start it had hoped for at the American Collegiate Hockey Association National tournament Wednesday.

The Buffs lost 6-5 to Farmingdale State of New York in the first round of the tournament in Rochester, NY.

CU will play in the consolation bracket from here on out, and will take on the loser of Wednesday night's Hope College-University of Tennessee matchup in the lower bracket.
