Mustangs tie Lake Raiders with 16 seconds remaining in third

Saturday Feb. 22nd  2014 1:30pm -2:30pm.

With the 5th place Mustangs fighting for a playoff spot the pressure was on to earn valuable points. The action started 3:25 in as the Lake Raiders Jeremy Schofield (Erin Vassilakos and lone defencemenn Steven Davis) beat goaltender Brad Gordon for the lead. With the Mustangs Mike Iacovone in the box for dangerous driving the Lake Raider's Jeremy Schofield (unassisted) added to the lead at 9:39. Then with under 2 minutes left in the first, Mike Iacovone redeemed himself connecting on a mad scramble in front of the Lake Raiders net, bringing the period to an end 2-1 Lake Raiders.

The second frame went down with neither team scoring in this chess match.

The third period played out much like the second, with both sides getting excellent chances but just not being able to capitalize… Then with the game looking like a win for the Lake Raiders the Mustangs threw everything at goaltender Neil Mercer and finally it was Wei Jet Goh (Nicole Neeson) banging his 21st  with 16 seconds left earning a point in this thrilling ending of a 2-2 tie game.
