Inside The Game

The game opened with a goal from LSM Ryan Leonard on an electric fast break.
The second and final goal of the quarter came in a similar fashion, except Ryan Leonard was feeding this time to Gavin Waddell.
On defense, the guys only allowed one goal and were forcing the LMU offense to turn the ball over all day.
The score after the first quarter was 2-1 ACU.
In the second quarter, it was very similar to the first.
Both teams struggled a little bit on offense, and there were lots of turnovers.
Nevertheless, Kellen Haigh balled out in this quarter, scoring both of ACU's two goals.
On defense, there were two goals allowed, but Logan Malone, Brody Tkachyk, and Ryan Leonard were all dominant in forcing turnovers.
The score was 4-3 ACU at halftime.
The second half would look a little different offensively, with Denver Farlett out, Blake Smith stepped in to play attack and ended up finding an assist on a nice feed to Gavin Waddell.
The offense would not score again, but the defense would continue to dominate, only allowing one goal, led by my freshman goalie, Connor Jensen.
The score after the third quarter was 5-4 ACU.
Kellen Haigh found his third goal of the day, followed by a pair of goals from Tristan Watters, both assisted by Hayden Wegner.
On defense, they would keep LMU scoreless for the whole quarter, not allowing them to take hardly any shots and finishing the game with 17 caused turnovers as a team.
ACU won 8-4.
