Green Rallies Past Blue for Third Straight Win
Green overcame a two-goal deficit entering the third period to defeat Blue 5–4, extending its winning streak to three games. Blue led twice during the opening two periods, but Green’s late response lifted the team to a 3–1 record.
Juan Cuevas opened the scoring for Blue at 6:27 of the first period. Dionisio Mitchell answered at 3:31, assisted by Mark Braun, sending the teams into the intermission tied 1–1.

Green responded 55 seconds later through Braun, with Jonathan Hudson picking up the assist. Blue then created some separation. Gurolla scored at 13:46, assisted by Soelberg, and Cuevas added his second at 8:45 to give Blue a 4–2 advantage entering the final period.
Cameron Wood began Green’s comeback with an unassisted goal at 17:28 of the third. A holding penalty against Blue created a power-play opportunity, and Harrison Varner capitalized at 15:25. Hudson and Braun assisted on the tying goal. Green completed the comeback to claim the recorded 5–4 victory.
Braun finished with a goal and two assists, extending his goal-scoring streak to four games. He has also recorded at least three points in every outing this season. Hudson supplied two assists, while Varner’s goal extended his point streak to four games and gave him goals in consecutive appearances.
Cuevas led Blue with two goals, scoring for the third consecutive game. Lantz extended his goal-scoring streak to four games, and Soelberg’s two assists kept his four-game point streak intact. Gurolla contributed a goal and an assist.
The win moved Green to 3–1 following three straight victories. Blue fell to 1–2–1, with its comeback win over Purple the previous week followed by a narrow defeat.
