The Lions were backstopped in net by Chris Cantillo who stopped 22 of 26 shots in the victory.
On Saturday the Lions played at home against Long Beach. The Lions would score twice in the first, and led 2-1 at the break. But in the second, the Lions offense sputtered and Long Beach was able to tie the game 2-2. In the third the Lions pushed to take back the lead, but Long Beach was able to find the back of the net, and the Lions lost 4-2 to Long Beach.
With the Friday night win, the Lions guaranteed a winning record in their inaugural season! The final game of the season is at home on Saturday 2/10 at 7:30 pm.
