period. Freshman Jason Rippon netted another goal for the Trojans making the score of the game 2-1.

Palmyra’s Bryson Russell was able to tie the game, making the score 2-2. However,  Iannarello was determined to change the score by slipping the puck past Palmyra’s goalie, Liam Schmidt, with one minute left into the last period, making it hard for the Cougars to get back into the game.
