Avalanche Wins In Overtime

The Monroe Avalanche Co-op hockey team hosted Madison La Follette on November 28th. Despite the Eastside Lakers taking an early lead in the game, the Avalanche played hard and won in overtime, 3-2.
“What can you say with an overtime win. The guys worked hard and never quit, even when we were down two goals,” said Coach Josh Smith. “We spend a lot of time conditioning and it’s these kind of money where it pays off. We’ve got a long week ahead so we’ll look to keep the momentum going.”
Down by two, the Avalanche’s first goal came in the second period when Cade Janecke, assisted by Colton O’Connor and Travis Edmunds, scored. Janecke, assisted by Hayden Roth and Travis Edmunds, tied the score up in the third. The game went into overtime, and Payton Stauffacher scored the winning goal.

“We played really well tonight, worked extra hard but in the end we just couldn’t find the net. Being down 2 starters and some of our second line definitely hurt us as well. Between that and rushing our passes in our own zone instead of taking a second to look for the best option it was just too much to overcome. We just need to shake it off and get ready for Greenville tomorrow night.
