Indiana Gets the Victory

Indiana was victorious on Saturday night, 8-6, over the Oakland Grizzlies. Indiana was led by Reed Schafer, who recorded 5 goals on the night.

Friday the Hoosiers led twice in the game by 2 goals, but the Grizzlies were able to battle back both times and survived with a tie. Freshman Dan Karlander led the Hoosiers with 2 goals and 2 assists and Jimmy Hugill stopped 31 out of 37 shots for the night.

Saturday, Indiana jumped out to a 2 goal lead in the first and were able to extend it to a 7-3 lead by the end of the second period. Reed Schafer led the strong second period with a natural hat trick, 3 goals in a row in the same period. For the period, Reed had 4 of the Hoosiers 5 goals and would finish the night with 5 goals of his own.

Next week, the Hoosiers travel to Kalamazoo, MI to play the newest member of the GMHL, the Davenport Panthers. Indiana is only 1 point behind Davenport in the GMHL standings. The Panthers are led by JJ Price and Chad Anguilm, who each have 27 points on the year. The Panthers goaltending has been stellar with Eric Rupert posting a 1.68 goals against average and a save percentage of 94% in eight games this year.
