Thunder take down Vikings in 2OT

EDMONTON AB – In tonight's game the Concordia University of Edmonton (CUE) Thunder played host to the visiting Augustana Vikings. The game needed two OT periods until the Thunder put it away with just over 2 minutes left in 2OT.

The Vikings opened up the scoring in the first, but the Thunder answered back with a beautiful power play goal to tie everything up at one. The first was back and forth and both teams had some great opportunities to make this a much higher game, if it wasn't for some stellar goaltending at both ends.

The second period was filled with drama, goals, big hits and excitement, as both teams started playing a more physical game, providing both teams some powerplay opportunities and some great momentum shifts.

The Thunder it up early in the 3^rd shortly after the Vikings killed off a very crucial penalty. The game would remain tied for the remainder of the 3^rd and would push this contest into overtime. The first over time left the game unsettled, after some great 4 on 4 opportunities the game needed a second OT to settle the score. The Thunder dominated both OT periods and finally snuck away with a big win after a 2 on 1 pass opened up #23 Rory Davidson for a beautiful deek to put the game away.

The Big Kahuna Players of the Game for the visiting Vikings was #14 Ryan Groom and for the Thunder was #9 Matt Benko.
