I thought it was going to be the shootout at the O.K. Corral. UAF made the most of the extended power-play chance by scoring two goals. Prior turned back four UAF shots over the remainder of the first and 14 through the rest of the game, allowing his RedHawks to take the contest back. We needed him to come in and shut the door. It didn't take long for Miami's offense to skate back into the game as the RedHawks flexed their muscles in front of UAF's net and scored three goals in under two minutes early in the second period.
Good teams find ways to exploit teams and they did that.
They showed a lot of resolve in coming back. From there we played more disciplined and did what we had to do. Copyright 1997 Fairbanks Daily News-Miner . All rights reserved.
