Omaha Lancers News Release
Sioux Falls used two second period goals to hold off the Lancers on Friday, November 24th at the Mid America Center, 4-3. The win went to the Stampede, despite a power play goal from Lancer forward Robby Dee, and defenseman Kier Ross' first USHL goal.
Pat Schafer opened the scoring for the Lancers with his third goal of the year, coming just over seven minutes into the first period of play. Drew Fisher tied the game at the 13:37 mark for Sioux Falls, as the first period ended with a 1-1 tie.
In the second period, the Lancers scored first again, as Dee's seventh goal of the year was also his fifth power play of the season, coming at 1:25 of the period. However, goals from Robbie Vrolyk and Zach Hansen gave the Stampede a 3-2 edge after forty minutes of play.
Ryan Guentzel's goal for Sioux Falls at 4:07 of the third period gave the Stampede a 4-2 advantage. Kier Ross answered for the Lancers with his first USHL tally at 15:39 of the final frame to get his team back within one goal at 4-3.
