How it Happened

The Blazers got more shots through the defense but could not get it past the goalie to go into the first intermission still trailing by two.
Hood had an early opportunity in the second period after the Knights were called for cross checking, but still could not get a shot past Ava Zoppo despite peppering the net. The momentum would quickly shift once again when Arcadia made it 3-0 just over a minute after getting back to even strength. The Knights would add two more goals to their tally before the end of the period.
Neither team would get on the board in the third period, as Arcadia fought off the last Hood attack down a player for the final minute of play to hand the Blazers their first loss of the season.
