Recap:

The Findlay Grrrowl came just eight seconds short of dropping both of its weekend games to the Wooster Oilers Saturday before a late game-tying goal by Ryan Chance locked up the score at three as time expired. 

The Grrrowl had the puck at its attacking red line following a stoppage in play and were able to swing it around its attacking goal. The puck traveled through Chris Clark, Chance and Zach Bachnak and then back to Chance who quickly turned and threaded the puck between Wooster goalkeeper, Kody Martin, and the left post. 

Chance also added an assist in the game as he and John Brooks connected with Chris Clark in the second period to put the Grrrowl up 2-1. Brock Donnelly had the first Grrrowl score in the first period. 

With 33 saves, goalkeeper Andy DiCristofaro kept the Grrrowl in reach of tying or even going ahead, however an Oiler score in the third period forced the Grrrowl to hope for the tie in the late-going. 

The Grrrowl were ahead 2-0 in the first period Friday but let the floodgates open in the second, allowing 6 goals. Wooster added three in the third and cruised to a 9-2 victory. 

Following the weekend series, the Grrrowl move to 4-4-2 on the season. Wooster advances to 4-8-2.
