Bakersfield Condors News Release
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - RW Scott Freeman scored twice, including a penalty shot, to lead the Bakersfield Condors (3-2-1-0, 7pts) to a 5-3 triumph over the Idaho Steelheads (1-5-0-0, 2pts) at Rabobank Arena Friday night.
The Condors jumped out to a quick start, with C Mathew Sisca scoring his first pro goal 32 seconds into the contest. D Alain Goulet scored on the power play at 3:56 and LW Matt Marquardt tucked home a wraparound at 12:30 to make it 3-0. The third goal of the game chased Idaho G Jerry Kuhn from the pipes, and Bakersfield led in shots 16-7. Marquardt and Sisca's goals were both unassisted, taking advantage of Idaho turnovers. Idaho surged in the second period, racking up a 17-8 shot advantage and lighting the lamp twice. But Freeman added two goals of his own, one finishing off an odd-man rush at 7:46, and adding a penalty shot tally in the final minute of the period. Freeman now has a point in all six games on the season.
The Steelheads tallied early in the third to once again make it a two-goal game on F Ondrej Roman's first goal of the season. It's as close as they could get, as the Condors ended their three-game winless streak. G Matt Keetley picked up the win, stopping 26 shots for the Condors.
