Game 3

The Storm players and coaches knew that they needed a victory in this game to have any hope of making it to the championship game tomorrow, and with that knowledge they were determined to play strong early in the game. Unfortunately for them, the Patriots team got on the scoreboard first, sneaking one past the Storm goalie halfway through the period. A second Patriots goal a couple minutes later resulted in a two goal deficit for the Storm team. Undeterred, they kept attacking, eventually scoring a goal to narrow the gap to 2-1. That was pretty much it for positives for the Storm however, as the Patriots scored with less than a minute left to take a 3-1 lead into the second period.

Momentum stayed on the side of the Patriots for this period as well, as they kept finding the back of the net while thwarting any efforts the Storm players put forth. When this period ended, the Storm team trailed by a 6-1 score. Thankfully there wasn't as much action in the third, as the only goal of the period came off of a Patriots stick, giving them a 7-1 lead that carried through until the end of the game.
