Playoffs - D2

Old, Fat & Drunk(Erie) 16 Boilermakers 4

Erie was rocking with a cookout to soften the humid afternoon. Bailey Maloney and Chris Merski tallied 5 goals each, with Tony Rondinelli another 4. Not an easy afternoon for the Boilers, who did not concede without a fight, as Jason Wiess scored 2 goals, another by Seanna Conway putting laser in the back of the net over Rithcjie K’s shoulder, and Mackenzie Mramor scoring from the edge of the crease. Rumor has it the Wiess clan also bagged some blue gills in the reservoir while fishing before the game too. Patrick Ball takes his 6th win in net as Erie takes top seed into the next round of playoffs, as well as winning the league regular season championship.
