Manzella with 32 saves in the close battle

Eagan JV entered its road contest against Prior Lake on a three game winning streak.  The game featured the return of junior defensemen Nolan Cronkhite who was credited with an assist on his first shift of the game on a goal scored by Tony Asta as Eagan took an early lead against a tough opponent.  Late in the second period and down two goals, Aiden White converted a breakaway opportunity provided by a Ben Wilary pass to cut into Prior Lake’s lead. 

With increased pressure and solid goaltending, Eagan was able to tie the game in the third period on a goal by Parker Swanson which was assisted by White.  Although outshot by their opponent during the game, goaltender Derek Manzella was able to keep Eagan JV in the contest with 32 saves.  The team battled hard but ultimately fell in the overtime session.
