Lincoln Stars News Release
DES MOINES, IA- The Lincoln Stars (20-17-4-0) suffered their second straight overtime loss in Des Moines on Friday night.
The first period would go by quickly, with neither team recording a goal, and a combined eight shots on net (7-1 DM). Stars goaltender Will Prowse (Princeton) made a fantastic stick save as time expired in the frame.
In the second, Des Moines would strike first on a two-on-one break, gaining the early lead. But the Stars would answer back just under two minutes later on a Layne Loomer power-play tally. Loomer would add two more goals in the period, including another PPG, to gain his second hat-trick of the season, and send the Stars into the intermission with the two-goal lead.
The third period would be all Des Moines. The Buccaneers would score twice to send the game to overtime, and win it in the extra-frame on the break-away.
Lincoln is back in action Saturday night at the Ice Box at 6:05 p.m. against the Sioux City Musketeers.
