The Eagles went down 1-0 early in the first half off an unfortunate deflected shot. However, the Eagles rallied to a 3-1 score line at half. Jonah Garcia scored two goals off assists from Thomas Kirkham and Kevin Jones. Casey Stracher then added a third goal to end the half.
Laramie came out with intensity to start the second half and scored to make it 3-2. Thomas Kirkham responded instantly to secure the win, making it 4-2. The goal was assisted by Jonah Garcia.
Overall, it was a fantastic performance by the Eagles. They look to continue their good form against Northwest College on Saturday, Aug. 27 at home.
