Rebels Avoid Assassination Attempt

It looked like it was going to be "another one of those games" after seeing only 8 players show up to the game versus 15 players for the S.S. Assassins. The Rebels played hard though and came out on top after the first half with the score being 3-2. The Assassins then tied things up just 6 seconds into the second half but the Rebels answered back with Cody getting his 3rd and 4th goals of the night to give a two goal lead. The Assassins brought it to within 1 half way through the second but Dustin sealed the deal getting a breakaway goal with just over 8 minutes left. In the dying minutes the Rebels went on the penalty kill and the Assassins pulled their goalie but were still unable to get anything past Cory and our defense. The things that really helped win the game, besides Cody getting 4 goals, was our defensive game. Very few shots got through to the net because we were getting our sticks in the shooting lane and causing a lot of deflections and Cory was allowing very few rebounds when the shots did get through.
