Mutineers (2-1-0) 6
Silverwings (0-3-0) 2

The Mutes look out of place in this contest, Patrick Haley nets their first goal late in the first period, then he wisely vanishes from the scoresheet. The remaining Mutineers make a four goal run out of the early lead: Bill Turner, John Swartzbaugh, and Mickey Syrquin. Chris Arendall ends the shut-out with the first Wing goal, but the Mutineers fire back a Brooks Willhoite goal and Syrquin's second brings the total to six. Brian Panice hits the ice while the Mutes toast themselves on the bench and grabs the final Silverwing goal. The Mutineers win easily.

Brewzers (1-1-1) 4
Blue Devils (2-1-0) 5

Jake Reynolds takes the Devils to the early lead but they quickly fall to Brewzer goals from Brian Flashbart and Jamil Jabri. Fiesty Gloria Buell ties the game and Randy Perry regains the Devil lead. The Brewzers push again on the teeter-totter with a Scott Edwards goal but fail to flip the lead. The Devils seize the opportunity and Aaron Hawley puts the Devils atop again. Brad Watson tries to re-establish the Brewzers, tying the game but the Devils have the final goal, and Perry's second opus is enough for a win tonight.

Snipers (2-1-0) 2
Grave Diggers (1-2-0) 5

Big Joe Tomme tries to intimidate the sweet little Diggers with the first goal of the game, but the Diggers are a battle tested, fearless bunch, long removed from their inaugural season when they were ridiculed for petitioning a spot on a sub-I-league- Hmm, looks like very few are laughing now, most are just paying for their spot. The Diggers strike back with a Randy Chappel goal followed by twine-ticklers from A. J. DiBenedetto, Ryan Kelley, and another Chappel goal. Tomme tries to inspire the Snipers with his second tally but the response comes from the Digger bench- a Bob Barr goal ends the game with a healthy Digger lead.

Major I

Puckers (0-1-0) 0
Spiders (1-1-1) 2

The Puckers starring Casey Jenkins in net put forth a valiant effort in the first but neither team can find the back of the net. Finally in the second Freddy Gilbert arrests the stalemate with a Spider goal. Jenkins allows one more to Malissa Daniels but recovers his composure and holds fast, waiting for the forwards to bail him out. The tension in the third was building, the temperature high until the final minute when everything erupted, like a massage parlor. Spider anchor Bryan Couture took offense to the Pucker enthusiasm- specifically Guy Riggs, who is called for roughing. Jon Padilla defends his team mate to the point of dropping the gloves with Couture. The final minute was played in a stupor as the teams revel in their recently fulfilled homo-erotic fantasies, Spiders win!

Shockers (2-1-0) 7
LSI (0-1-0) 2

After scraping the blood from the ice, a late start yields an early lead for the Shockers: first goal to Josh Rooker, followed by Nick McMacken. The Imports try to soothe their Austin hangover with a Cody Woodward goal but the Shockers shave the hair from the dog with the completion of the Rooker hat trick. The Imports struggle to stay on for the ride Dylan Whitehead pops the final LSI puck. The Shockers maintain a calm air and close-out the game with gals from Eric Yepez, Nick McMacken, and Scott McMacken.

Patriots (1-2-0) 2
Stickmen (2-0-1) 1

The Pats needed a veteran voice on the bench, and Butch Hutchinson looked perfect for the role tonight, he scores the first goal and the lead holds for the remainder of the period, but only just. A few seconds into the middle frame a shot from Stickman Damon Flores finds its way beneath the pads of Jake Fulgham. The dead knot carries both squads through to the shoot-out, where a measure of redemption awaited the Patriot's net minder. The first six shooters aren't enough to decide the winner and the call at center ice falls to Butch. Jake having held-up his end looked across the ice to his Captain, with pleading eyes, and with a single stroke of his mighty stick the Butcher cuts down the Sticks for the overdue Patriot win.

Soul Patch (3-0-0) 5
Warriors Major (1-1-1) 4

The hungry Warriors watch as the Patches fall before them, Mindo has the honor of the first goal and Dallas Lehr establishes the healthy lead, all was right in Warrior land until Jon Shannon Patched together a plan of attack. With Shannon's goal and one from Steven McNamara the game was tied. The Warriors regroup with a brief Damon Lacey sponsored lead but the Warriors end the second with another Shannon goal and an even score. Brad Aho opens the third with the first Patch lead of the game and the defense and often tested goaltending looked strong enough to hold, but not on the kill. When James McClelland leaves the surface for interference (ticky-tack?) his team mates watch as their hard fought lead is unravelled by a lone Warrior- Chris Dolbee. The Patches refuse to surrender, fighting through the overtime to the shoot-out, they don't even need the third shooter- both Shannon and Lochkos beat the tired Warrior goalie while nothing can penetrate the Soul Patch net. 70 shots total for the game, what a way to end the night.
