North Iowa Outlaws News Release
The North Iowa Outlaws had their six game winning streak snapped Friday night as the headed to Alexandria for a match-up against the Blizzard. North Iowa fell behind and never seemed to recover as Alexandria skated to a 3-2 victory.
The first period came and went with nothing exciting as neither team had a real scoring chance, and only nine shots were fired on goal. Alexandria turn 8 shots at Moss who held strong, while Blizzard netminder Ryan Leets only saw one shot on goal, with no major threat. In the second, Luke Nesper came out and gave the Blizzard the early lead scoring on a rebound in front, and Alexandria looked as if they would take control, forcing Coach Boitz to call a timeout to calm his team down.
After his team settled, the second period still was without a lot of action until late in the period when the Outlaws got something going. Shea Walters extended his pointstreak to nine games when he walked down the wall and found Brooks DeZellar who fired a shot at Leets. The rebound kicked out to Kyle Poiltz who slide the puck on the ice off the post and in to tie the game at one.
In the third, the Blizzard got a pair of goals from Jascha Pettit and Mikael Licktig to make it a 3-1 game with under a minute to play. North Iowa battled back to 3-2 when Tyler Jundt scored with :32 seconds left in the game, but it wasn't enough as the Blizzard handed North Iowa their second loss in regulation and snapped the Outlaws six game winning streak.
North Iowa will look to rebound at home tomorrow night at 7:30 pm.
