The Thunder were without Ryan Constant, Sebastian Collberg and Shawn Boutin, leaving the team a man down, and in the end couldn't contain the Eagles offense.

Loveland, CO. - The Stockton Thunder struggle to stay out of the box and fall to the Colorado Eagles for the third-straight game by a score of 7-1 Sunday afternoon in Colorado.
