The Gens had a huge first period, outshooting the Cobras 11-3 and taking a 2-0 lead into the break on goals by M Dearborn and B Lesperance. After an ugly 2nd period that saw the Gens not only give up the lead but fall behind, the Gens rebounded to tie it early in the 3rd as F Streef drew the game even. The Cobras struck again taking a 4-3 lead, but C Martin tallied late in the game to draw the game even. The Gens thought they had taken the lead a bit later, but a shot that passed between the keeper's legs was deemed to have hit the goalpost.
J Bryan made 15 saves to secure the tie, and leave the Gens in a tie for 2nd place after the first day of action.
