Riders turn it around

Thank goodness.

On Saturday night the Rough Riders were able to skate and play like they actually wanted to win. The team started out slow, but picked up momentum to defeat the Blackhawks 4-3 in overtime. The rink was loud, the hockey was exciting and it was the first time in awhile that I can say I honestly had fun at the rink in a long, long time. Only complaint is the weak defense giving up goals while up a man. Something's gotta change there. Overall though great job, guys.

Scoring summary as follows:

Cedar Rapids - Eric Robinson (Derek DeBlois, Jeff Costello) 5:34
Waterloo - Bryce Ravndalen (shorthanded) (unassisted) 15:09
Period 2
Waterloo - Bryce Ravndalen (shorthanded) (unassisted) 5:38
Cedar Rapids - Bryce Aneloski (Jordan DiGiando) 6:53
Waterloo - Patrick Divjak (Jamie Hill, Nick Sorkin) 15:55
Period 3
Cedar Rapids - Jeff Costello (unassisted) 0:35
Overtime
Cedar Rapids - Mac Bennett (unassisted) 2:26

Cedar Rapids takes on Greenbay on Tuesday at 7:05 PM.
