Alaska Aces


Despite a 2-1 lead in the first period, the Aces fell 4-3 Sunday to the Condors. Alaska defenseman Quinn Sproule found the back of the net five seconds after the conclusion of a first period Glacier blue power play to give the Aces a 1-0 lead. Center Brendan Connolly recorded his first goal of the season six minutes later to extend Alaska's lead by two. But Bakersfield would not go scoreless in the first period. Blueliner Graeme Craig put the Condors within one with three minutes to go in the first. 
Craig's late first period goal proved to give the Condors momentum in the second period of play. Chase Schaber tallied the equalizer, while Nick MacNiel gave Bakersfield a 3-2 advantage. With three and a half minutes to go in regulation, Olivier Archambault gave the Aces hope when he scored to tie the game, 3-3. But the Condors took advantage of a late power play and Connor Jones recorded the game winning goal with 38 seconds left in regulation.
