It was 2:25 in that Berlin came close with a Brad Frenette long shot from 30-yards-out that keep- er Jake Towle just pushed over the cross bar. Towle went on to surive the ensuing corner-kick. The Mounties drew first blood with 12:12 still left before halftime. A picture perfect goal off a Camer- on Patry throw-in. Ryan Richard settled the ball and from 10-yards- out launched a shot into the far side corner.
