Matt Campbell tied the score at beginning of the second period against Orchard Lake St. Mary’s on Saturday night. St. Mary’s turned it around and beat the Wolves, 5-2.
‘Overall we showed some heart,? said Clarkston Coach Bryan Krygier. ‘We fought back a little bit.They (St. Mary’s) are obviously a good team. They are well-coached. They capitalize on mistakes.?
Michael Fiteny put the boys on the scoreboard four minutes left in the first period and the boys needed one more to tie.
The Wolves capitalized on power plays moving forward and hitting a game total of 13 shots on goal and Goalie Neeko Muniz saved 20 shots on the net.
‘Now we know if we play a little bit more and fight a little bit harder I think we can beat them again,? said Krygier, going into Pre-Regionals against St. Mary’s.
