It was a shootout thriller in the Co-Rec Broomball League final.
The Average Joes took on the IceHoles for the broomball Co-Rec Championship on Tuesday night. Average Joes scored the first goal in the first period, taking an early lead in the game. But IceHoles battled back in the second period though getting a goal late in the period to tie it. There were big momentum shifts back and forth in the third, but neither team could sustain pressure.
Austin Scro and Spenser Iodice both stayed perfect in goal in the third period. As regulation came to an end, the score was tied 1-1, as both teams geared up for overtime. One minute into overtime both teams were scrambling on offense, until the Average Joes had a chance on a power play due to an IceHoles penalty for playing the ball while down.
IceHoles were successful on the penalty kill and the ball was back and forth between each team’s offensive zone as the clock wound down. The game was to be decided by a shootout and the Average Joes shot first. Kegan Storjohann scored twice for Average Joes, but in the end Jake Lawley of the IceHoles netted the game winner in extra rounds, as they were bestowed with the Campus Recreation Championship T-shirts.
“I feel great, like lightning,” Gabby Loftus of the IceHoles said. “This is my senior year, so being able to finish it out strong was awesome.”
Loftus scored twice in the shootout.
