Gophers Bring Pioneer's Winning Streak To An End

The Pioneers lost to the Gophers today, 4 to 1.  Although the team seemed to have lots of energy at the start of the game, they had trouble moving the puck today.  Most of the game seemed to take place in the Pioneer's end of the rink and they were out shot by quite a margin.

The Gophers scored twice in the first period.  In the second period, Nick stuffed in a rebound from Dylan's shot to pull within one.

But the Gophers scored again the the third period without a Pioneer comeback.  Late in the third period, after the Pioneer goalie was pulled, the Gophers scored an open net goal to make the final score 4 to 1.
