Fargo Force News Release
Friday, January 30th VS Omaha Lancers
Result: 5-3 Loss
Nate Condon, Chris Stafne and Josh Birkholz had the goals for Fargo in the loss against Omaha on Friday night. Fargo went ahead 2-0 halfway into the second period only to lose that lead when the Lancers scored 2 goals only 41 seconds apart nearing the end of the second. Fargo's starting goaltender, Mike Lee, was pulled from net after Omaha scored their 3rd goal in the third period. Fargo almost pulled through in the end bringing the score within one on Josh Birkholz's goal with a little under 5 minutes left in the third. Omaha's Louis Leblanc, however, took Fargo's hopes of a win away scoring the 5th goal with 1:03 left to play.
Saturday, January 31st VS Omaha Lancers Result: 2-0 Win
The Force came to the Urban Plains on Saturday looking for a split in the weekend with the Omaha Lancers, and a split is what they got. Fargo came back to beat the Lancers 2-0 with goaltender Mike Lee getting his first shut out of the season. Andy Taranto scored on a powerplay in the first period and Cole Gunner added the second goal in the third period. The Lancers outshot the Force 35 to 27, but Mike Lee was solid between the pipes for Fargo on Saturday night and was able to hold off the Lancers for the win.
