HOW IT HAPPENED IN READING
 
The Pride opened the game with a dominating quarter of play. A quick save from Billie allowed the Pride to start the shooting in the attacking zone. Seven minutes into the quarter Nick Brennan found the back of the cage for the first goal of the game for both sides. Two minutes later with an extra-man opportunity, Wesley Sporer made the score 2-0 with a ball from Bryant Maits for his 29th goal of the season. With 4:04 on the clock, Samuel Haverstrom with a pass from Liam Montgomery scored to increase the Pride lead to three. A fast faceoff win from Jack Witchendahl gave Nick DiCicco his first goal of the game from a Sporer pass. The Pride topped off the scoreless Golden Wolves quarter with a Colin Wingate goal for his fourth of the season from Jimmy Knepp.
 
The scoring fest continued in the second quarter as Matt Buckey scored a man-up goal two minutes into play. Two more Pride goals came right after the faceoffs from Sporer and Buckley again on man-up opportunities. The score was 8-0 in favor of the Pride. The Golden Wolves first goal came at 9:21 of the quarter but was quickly answered by a Maits goal for his tenth of the season. Just outside the two-minute mark, Nicholas Knepp tacked on a goal and a minute later Heisman scored to end the quarter with an 11-2 lead.
 
Opening the third quarter was a Golden Wolves goal to make the score 11-3. N. Knepp continue the scoring for the Pride as he found the back of the cage with 9:48 in the third. Shortly after Heisman scored his 50th goal of the season after a caused turnover from J. Knepp. A dry scoring streak for the Pride allowed the defense to shine as Connor Powell came away with multiple saves and C.J. Lane came away with a caused turnover. The Pride defense stood strong to hold the Golden Wolves to one additional goal in the third. Heading into the fourth quarter the Pride led 13-4.
 
Scoring continued for both teams as the Golden Wolves struck first. Following an Alvernia timeout, Colyn Schmitz entered the cage for the Pride. Buckley, Sporer, and Maits rattled off shots but could not connect. Buckley eventually found the net five minutes into the quarter to make the score 14-6. A long stretch of scoreless play saw more shots from the Pride offense as Heisman hit the post and Haverstrom and Sporer ripped shots that missed just wide. A slashing penalty put the Pride a man down but the defense did their job with a successful penalty kill. Matt Ellison saw his first goal of the season and capped off the Pride scoring as the time ticked down to 1:43 in the quarter. On the day, the Pride walked away with a 15-6 win.
