Soo Eagles News Release
Soo Eagles 4, Janesville Jets 3 (SO) - Saturday, March 7, 2015
The Janeville Jets run at NAHL history hit a speed bump, as the visiting Soo Eagles picked up a 4-3 shootout win on Saturday night, to snap Janesville's 17-game winning streak. Things looked good for the Jets until late in the game as they got a 1st period goal from Dan Kucerovy, a 2nd period goal from Zach LaValle and a 3rd period goal from Cullen Munson. However, the Eagles would respond each time, with goals from Matt Menta, Denver Pierce and the game-tying goal with less than a minute left in regulation from Leo Lumm. Darren Brady and Keegan Miller had the game-deciding shootout goals.
