Bryce McCole on an assist from
Brendon Leach in the 83
rd minute. The Knights had nine shots on goal but the Saints starting goalkeeper, Nick Mueller, stood on his head in a big way saving eight shots. The goal the Knights got in the 83
rd minute was against the Saints second string goalkeeper, Connor Leistiko.
Sebastian Winn-Araneda,
Isai Rodriguez, and
Bryce McCole led the way offensively for the Knights shooting two shots on goal apiece.
Hunter Leach and
Chanin Orlandin each checked in with the other two shots on goal for the Knights.
The Saints only had two shots on goal which means defensively, the Knights weren't letting the Saints get too many good looks at the net. Unfortunately, the two shots on goal they did get both hit the back of the net.
