WEEK IN REVIEW:

Friday, Nov. 3:
CONDORS 3 vs Alaska 2 (Attendance: 4,906)
Bakersfield scored a goal in each period and held off a late Aces rally to win, 3-2. Kevin St. Jacques tallied in the first, Rane Carnegie scored his first professional goal in the second, and Brett Lutes added one in the third. The Aces scored twice in quick succession midway through the final stanza, but Jamie Hodson stopped 35 of 37 shots, including several point-blank opportunities late, to preserve the victory.

Saturday, Nov. 4:
CONDORS 1 vs Alaska 6 (Attendance: 6,730)
The biggest home crowd of the season watched the Condors fall in the finale of four straight games against the Aces. After Alaska scored twice to open the game, Josh Liebenow netted a power-play goal to cut the lead in half. But the Aces had too much firepower, scoring twice more in the second and third periods to clinch it.

Sunday, Nov. 5:
CONDORS 6 @ Long Beach 4 (Attendance: 2,012)
The Condors finished off the weekend in style, scoring early and often to beat Long Beach, 6-4. Lutes started the scoring just 3:48 in, Tyler Scott and Nicklas Lindberg followed with short-handed markers, and the Condors were on their way. Scott finished the night with two goals, Andrew Ianiero had three assists, Sean Venedam had a goal and an assist, and Reagan Leslie and Mike Hofstrand had two helpers apiece. Hodson stopped 38 of 42 shots.
