"Maroon" Line Strikes in OT

Despite another slow first period, which saw GFC jump up 2-0 on the strength of 2 PP goals, the GPR JV were able to scratch and claw back in and win in Overtime at Purpur arena.

Zach Gaarder sniped a shot to cut the lead to 2-1 after 1 period. GFC would take a 3-1 lead into the third.

JOrdan Keeley would go shortside shelf on the PP to cut the lead to one goal. Then the "Red Rifle," Carter Arendt, would strike from the Red Line with a wicked wrister that eluded the GFC goalie with just under 5 minutes to play. The game would see OT, and 50 seconds in, the Maroon line of Paul Behm, Brandon Ferguson, and Ryan Lessard would connect to send the Spoilers home victorious.

Justin Offutt got the win after starting the game and leaving after 2 minutes because of injury. Hunter Bandt would keep the Spoilers in it for two periods, before Justin would triumphantly return and earn the "W".
