On Monday, December 14^th, the Red Devils dropped a 5-3 game to DeSmet in their first action since the pause in their season due to COVID-19.

As soon as the puck dropped, it was a very back and forth game.  No one could find the back of the net until Chaminade’s Connor Williamson deposited a shot behind DeSmet’s goalie with 6:20 left in the first period.  CCP held this lead to the end of the 1^st period.

The momentum swung early in the 2^nd period, as DeSmet’s offense came out of the break on a roll. The Spartans netted 4 unanswered goals, which was a huge momentum killer for Chaminade. At the end of the 2^nd, Desmet lead with a score of 4-1.

Chaminade came out firing in the 3^rd with two back-to-back goals. The first by Jackson Machrn with 6:43 left in the 3^rd and the second by Williamson with 2:50 left. The tables had turned and now it was a one score game.

With Chaminade looking for that tying goal, they pull Luka Myller with a little over 2 minutes remaining. Chaminade’s extra player does not end up working out for them and DeSmet score’s an empty net goal with 1:49 remaining. Chaminade ends up falling to a very talented DeSmet with a final score of 5-3.
