Army losses game, Olson wins fight

The Red Army was manhandled by the El Roco last night 7-3. The Army held tough for the first half of the game. With the game tied at 3 midway through the game, goalie Josh Gilbertson went back to the goalie we know and love. Gilbertson actually had 11 saves for the first half of the game and then had 3 the rest of the way. Gilbertson was not help by the defensive pairing of Steve Olson and Chad Swendseid. "The looked like Schumacher and Palmiscno. Two orange pylons would have played better than those two," said coach Terry Paukert. There were two bright spots for the Army. Lance Norman continued his torrid scoring pace with a goal and an assist. "I'm just playing to help the team win," said a humbled Norman. "Hell, all he does is stand in front of the net and picks up my garbage," said a emotional Shawn McMillan. The highlight of the the game for the fans was a mammoth tilt between the two heavyweight on the Ice. The Army's Steve Olson went toe-to-toe with the El Roco Lee Kofstad. Te fight brought the 14 fans to their seats. The other players were glad that it took 3 minutes off the clock so they could rest. Scoring the fight was Angleo Dundee, 114-111 for Olson, The Fight Doctor, Freddy Pachecko, 113-112 for Kofstad, and Eddie Obergon, 114-112 for Olson. Brian Purcell was quoted after the fight, " Olson lucky he didn't have to go against Rochee." The Army the Base next week at 7:00 at the Eagles Arena. Will more fireworks erupt?
