Brunswick 4, Nichols 2

For the third game in 24 hours, the Big Green outshot their opponent (35-22) but could not outscore their opponent.  Brunswick jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first four minutes of the game, but Nichols would battle back and begin to control the game.  Alec Yerkovich (98/Hamburg) put Nichols on the board with assists going to Steve Senese (99/Niagara Falls) and Cole Donhauser (99/Kenmore).  Nichols would let the game slip away with two quick goals and ten minutes remaining.  Despite a strong push, Nichols could not catch up.  Erik Urbank (99/Orchard Park) scored with 90 seconds remaining from Brett Willits (99/London, ON).  Jerry Baerwitz (97/Orlando, Fl) made 10 saves in 30 minutes of action.  Josh Graziano (00/Clarence) made 8 saves in his 30 minutes of play.

Northwood 5, Nichols 3

After boarding the 6am bus to Union College, the Nichols Boys spotted Northwood a quick 2-0 lead en route to a 5-3 loss.  Brandon Hausler (99/Montgomery, TX) cut the lead in the first period.  Northwood would regain the 2 goal lead with a goal early in the second period, but Nichols would battle back with Cole Donhauser (99/Kenmore) closing the gap with an assist to Alec Yerkovich (98/Hamburg) and Steve Senese (99/Niagara Falls).  Again, Northwood would extend their lead making it 4-2 in the early part of the third period.  Yerkovich brought Nichols back to within 1 goal late in the third period, but Northwood would seal the game with a goal in the last minute.   Josh Graziano (00/Clarence) made 19 saves in the game
