Zach Verhoven had himself a night, contributing in a number of promising attacks, collecting two assists for his hard work, first on the Shaw goal, and then on the Ryan Telfer goal (64').

GK Dylon Powley was immovable tonight in front of his net, making 6 saves and securing a third clean sheet this season. He still leads the league with 84 saves so far this season.
