Super Showdown at Supergoose Sportsplex!

In an early season matchup of two nationally ranked teams on saturday night, the Florida Gators pulled off the early season upset with a hard fought 5-2 win over the Central Florida Golden Knights. In a game that appeared it would come down to the wire, Florida pulled away late in the second period as they put two goals away in a span of 3 minutes to take a 3-1 lead. UCF would get back into the game early in the third period when Gaspare Lucania roofed a shot over Ben Wiles glove to bring the Knights back within one goal. But that would be it for the Knights. UF goaltender Ben Wiles shut the door for the rest of the game to secure the win, stopping 27 of 29 shots to move the Gators to 2-0-0 on the season. For the knights, six penalties plagued them from the second period on. At one point, UCF had to kill a 4 on 2 power play, but failed to do so before the extra man could step out onto the rink. Both goals for UCF came on the powerplay. These two teams will meet again on November 22 at the Deerfield Beach Sports Mall. Dont miss the rematch!
