Missoula Sentinel 2, Glacier 1

“We had chances but we did not capitalize in key moments of the game. They nicked a last minute goal on us and we could not get a clearance out of the box in the final moments of the game to keep the score line level. It was another good battle against a good team that will benefit us moving forward.”
