Less then 24 hours after the ot heartbreakers Cal was back on the ice vs RMU. Tonight it looked like they wanted to take care of business. They started with an early goal just 5 mins in by Tonini from Bohn. Then with under 5 mins to go Hill extended the lead to 2 goals. With time running out RMU was able to get on the board with a goal from Boyle. Tonight Cal seemed like it learned from last night.

Game 1 Cal 6 RMU 7
Cal started the game off strong but just could not put RMU away. Cal led in just about every stat except the one that counts, goals. Cal out shot RMU 49-38. Nick Campbell kept his team in the game making save after save. Another place that Cal had issues was the penalty box taking 42 PIM to RMU's 28. On the evening the big scoters for cal were Jones with 2 goals and 1 assist. Battista tallied 2 assists on the evening. Gleason, Bohn, York, and Tonini all got goals with Hill, Miller, and Faust getting a help. The game was fast tempo and physical all night. As usual the fans for both sides did not seem to agree with many of the calls/no call.
Cal will return to the ice to try and tie the series at 1 game each in the best of 3 tomorrow night at 8:00pm.

Cal drops game one to RMU
RMU scoring the game winner just 5 mins into over time. The game winning goal came from Manetta. Game 2 tomorrow at 8:20.
In to Overtime we go
A period that started early with a power play goal by Ryan Jones 2 mins in had no scoring until 3 mins to go when Dan Tonini scored. Then with the goalie pulled and just 22 seconds left on the clock Jones scored the tying goal. To over time we go!!!!!
A lot has changed
At the end of the first period Cal led it after 3 unanswered goals it is now RMU who has put up 5 unanswered goals by Boyle, Bogden, and the hat trick by Faulkner. Also at the end of the first Tim Johnson was between the pipes now Shane is in after RMU scored the 5th goal Johnson took a 10 min. Misconduct. Robert Morris has started to crash the net and get bodies in front on the net and seems to be working for them. Cal has also fallen to subject to penalties including giving up the first of the 5 on a 5 on 3 kill. Cal has now taken 10 penalties vs 8 for RMU. On the plus side Cal will be starting the period on the power play for a 1:30. After a first in which Cal out shot RMU by 19 to 8, RMU took the second by out shooting them 21 to 13.
Here is to a comeback...
