Allen Americans News Release
ALLEN, Texas- The Allen Americans took home a âW' in the first rematch between last year's Ray Miron Cup Finals participants, 6-4.

Bruce Graham scored the go-ahead goal midway through the third period to give Allen the lead for good, scoring on a Nino Musitelli pass at 11:16 of the period.
Jarret Lukin added a short-handed empty net goal to give the Americans a two goal advantage with 14 seconds remaining in the game.
The Allen power play was 2-7, while they held the Rapid City man advantage to no goals in four chances.
Nino Musitelli had two assists for the Americans, while Colton Yellow Horn had a goal and two assists.
The two clubs will meet again tomorrow night in Rapid City, with face off scheduled for 8:05.
