solve Lake Forest goaltender Brandon Kocuch nor the Foresters� offense in an 8-3

of the goals and Kneeland was involved in all four with a goal and three assists
in the period.
Kneeland added another goal in the second period and

Lake Forest led 5-0 in the second period before the
Pointers got on the board with three minutes left when Russel Law connected on a
five-on-three power play goal. However, the Foresters responded quickly with two
more goals in the period, coming 45 seconds apart to push the lead to 7-1.
Nick Zebro and Nate Sorenson each scored goals in the
third period for the Pointers, but Kocuch stood tall all night with 47 saves.
