Madison Capitols News Release
After capturing a 7-3 win on Thursday, the Capitols faced off against the Lincoln Stars on Thursday looking to improve to 2-0-0-0 on the season and 4-0-0-0 at the Fall Classic since Andy Brandt became the head coach in May 2023.
Things were tied at one through fifty minutes of action, and Lincoln having fresher legs proved to be the difference in the final ten minutes of the game. The Capitols leave Pittsburgh with a 1-1-0-0 record to their name.

Ivan Korodiuk, Aiden Long, and John Stout registered points in the game. For Korodiuk, it was his first USHL point in his USHL debut.
Ajay White made his debut for Madison on Friday between the pipes. White was able to stop 21 of 22 shots sent his way through the first two periods. Lincoln did add an empty net goal at the end, so only four goals against will go against White's record.
