The Petes Struggle to Break Through
Despite outshooting the Knights 30-23, the Petes were unable to find a way past Bowen, who was named the game's first star for his outstanding performance in net. The Petes' offense was led by forward J.R. Avon, who had several quality scoring chances throughout the game, but was unable to find the back of the net.
