Facing another californi a b team, the cats knew they had to bring intensity for four quarters. Despite two early first quarter goals by opponent sacramento b, the cats locked down defensively, allowed one goal per remaining quarter. Running their usual crash defense, the cats were very active up top, generating many steal and forcing bad outside shots.
The offense got off to a slow start as passes were errant and shots either hit the goalie and barred out, but things started to turn in the third quarter as top defenders as top defenders started going "miles"(which means leaving early for offense), leading to break away oppurtunities and odd man rushes. Down two goals in the fourth, thomas morgan and john lewis came up big out of set with strong, aggressive moves and burrying their shots for goals, tying the game.
After regulation we went into a shootout where thomas morgan, zach smithn and sam erlinger converted on their five meter shots while sacramento was stone walled by jake chisholm in three straight shots.
The third star of the game was joe kabance for his great defensive effort, including bridging the opposing two meter down the whole pool exhausting him for the possession. The second star went to aaron adcock for once again being the offensive spark and getting the "miles" ball rolling in the third quarter. First star went to jake chisholm who made eight saves, including one big save in the shootout in addition to great counter attack passing.
Next game at 7:50 at stanford.
