From the Bears’ Den

The game was closer than the score would suggest

The first period was skated end to end with great D on both sides Shots on goal: L 9 G 4

The Purple Eagles coach told his boys to pick up the tempo and use their bodies. They did. However, Landon put the initial point on the board with a Colton Rupp goal and an assist Matt Wellington @ 13:35. The Purple Eagles answered with a short-handed goal as 6:13. Gonzaga was assessed a 5 minute major and then a two penalty (2 down for 2 minutes). The Bears did not score then, but soon thereafter a pass from Colton went to Aditya Krishnan who moved it to Drew Wellington who scored @ 1:45. Unfortunately Gonzaga replied with 31 seconds remaining to tie it at 2-2 as the period ended. LSOG 24 GSoG 6
