GAME #1 RECAP 4-11-03: Idaho Wins 3-2; Leads Series 1-0 Idaho's Adam Copeland deflected Jeremy Mylymok's shot with :58 left in the game to give the Steelheads the 3-2 win and a 1-0 lead in the best of seven series. Idaho's Blair Allison faced 30 shots including 18 in the first period; while Fresno's goaltenders Terry Friesen and Mark Gowan had a look at 20 Steelheads attempts. Each team went 1 for 3 on the power play. In total, 184 combined penalty minutes were handed down including: Fresno's Haas who received a 5-game suspension; Bonneau, Prosofsky, and Gowan each received a game misconduct; and Landry received a gross misconduct. Idaho's Brar received a 2-game misconduct; Mylymok received a game misconduct and a gross misconduct.

GAME #2 RECAP 4-12-03: Fresno Wins 5-2; Series Tied 1-1 The Fresno Falcons rallied from a two-goal deficit and evened the best-of-seven WCHL first round playoff series at one game apiece with a 5-2 win over the Idaho Steelheads. Fresno dominated play in the second period, thanks in large part to Idaho's nine penalties, which resulted in five power play opportunities for the Falcons. Fresno converted two of those chances, both on 5-on-3 advantages. Fresno tallied the only goal of the frame, an empty-netter by Rob Bonneau at 17:33. Idaho put pressure on Fresno's Gowan late in the period, but the Falcon netminder was equal to the task in recording his first career playoff victory. Fresno outshot the Steelheads 35-28. Idaho went 2 for 5 on the power play; Fresno went 2 for 10.
