Roller: Squirrels 8, High Rollers 6

The Screaming Squirrels locked up 2nd place with an 8-6 win against the High Rollers on Thursday in the regular season finale. It was no easy task, however, as a shorthanded High Rollers squad put up a fight.

The Squirrels got the scoring started as Charles Warner scored a minute in. High Rollers tied it before Warner fired a shot to the top left corner, atoning for two missed breakaways before that.

High Rollers scored two more goals to close out the period, and the Squirrels were facing a 3-2 deficit.

It appeared the Squirrels found their grove as two goals by Vivek Pinto and one by Casey Carpenter put them up 5-3, but two quick High Rollers goals tied it up again.

The Squirrels got a late power play and needed to score. After a High Rollers player took a puck to his eye and left the game, Carpenter netted another to give the Squirrels the lead. Pinto scored his third shortly after, and Carpenter got a short-handed goal to put the Squirrels up 8-5. High Rollers scored late but the Squirrels held on.

With four points int he final game, Vivek Pinto took over as the Squirrels’ scoring leader for the season. He and Carpenter led the team with 17 goals each. Amy Reich led the team in assists with 15.
