News out of BIG: Gold Rush shut out Fighting Saints 7–0 for C3 trophy

April 7, 2013

The Gold Rush took care of business on the Fighting Saints, causing the game clock to switch to running time early in the third period.

Shots were 35–24 in favor of the Gold Rush, and the Fighting Saints only led on the penalty sheet, getting five bin sits to the Gold Rush’s two.

The game marks two consecutive trips to the final for the Gold Rush, including last year’s loss at D1 in a shootout.

The late game on the BIG 2 sheet was the C1 Spiders vs. the Fighting Piranhas. The balcony crowd saw another shutout, though this one by just a one-goal margin, an exciting up-and-back game, with lots of close calls, stellar goaltending, and even an early penalty shot, dutifully denied by goaltender Dow.

But, the Spiders couldn’t solve the other goalie either, and ended up losing the game 1–0. Trophy to C1 Fighting Piranhas.
