tl Day 4 - July 3rd Report tr
  It took about a quarter for Merrill Lynch to get their feet, but once they did they held onto the lead, despite Brine’s team of sharp shooters. As the game progressed Merrill Lynch started showing their strengths with sharp passing and quick shots to pull away with the win. Despite what the score may indicate, both Brine goalies played very well, but a deep Merrill roster kept them busy. Attackman Garret Thul, of Merrill Lynch, had an impressive four goals and one assist. 

Maverik Elite swept past the Rocky Mountain Oysters in the second semi-final game of the day. Peter Baum had an impressive six goals for Maverik Elite, and long pole Matt Harris helped ward off goals with impressive defense. Chase Calkin and Garth Heth held their own on face-offs for the Oysters, winning a total of 15 between them.

Last year’s Champion Gang Green will take on Cole Roofing tomorrow in the Women’s Elite Championship game in what is sure to be an exciting competition.
