“The guys’ battled through a tough-fought game,” said Head Coach Mike Donaghue.  “Northern Lakes put us on our heels in the second, but Swanny was great and Isaac was able to tie it at the end of the second.  We had a great third period and were able to score a couple of goals skating 4-on-4 to give us a little breathing room.”
