In a strange back and forth game, the Spoilers would take two, 2 goal leads, only to see WF Battle back to tie the game, before the Spoilers would eventually settle on a 1 goal lead and keep it. (Yes, that probably was a terrible sentence...I'm not a writer)
Chopper Peterson scored on a beauty of a give and go with Captain Cole to give the Spoilers a 1-0 lead. Linemate Brit "The Baker" Brouillard would also assist. Just 19 seconds later, Peter Hills would slam home a nice feed from Johnny Robideaux for a two goal cushion. HOWEVER, WF would close the socring in the first, catching the Spoilers at the end of a shift to cut the lead to 1.
Just 1:48 into the 2nd, the Packers would knot the game at 2. Spoilers would answer, on a super effort by Jade Miller, just 3:57 into the 2nd. Feeling the spark, Britt would add on to the lead 23 seconds later for a 4-2 lead...and again, it appeared the Spoilers would be rolling. A little over 5 minutes later, WF would say "NO!" and answer with a PP goal. 3 minutes later, WF scored to tie the game at 4, with just under four minutes remaining in the 2nd. However, with just 12 seconds to go, Jade and linemates Hills and Robideaux would connect again to put the Spoilers up 5-4.
The third period, saw Captain Cole whistled for a Major Checking From Behind just 2 minutes into the third. The Spoilers would kill off the major, blocking shots and playing better defensively. WF would take a late penalty to prevent another comeback, and the Spoilers captured an all important 3 points in the EDC standings.
Up next, a huge road contest on Friday at Devils Lake with 3 more points on the line, with the next contest being a non-Conference home date with the East Grand Forks Green Wave.
