Then late in the opening period, Robbie Tunon added a goal to make it 2-0 Plum at 1:37. Life was good on the Mustang side and coach Relnick's team outshot NA 11-6. The game opened in the 2nd period and was fast and furious at both ends. NA got on the board as Dan Lobas scored at 12:37. With the teams tied the paced picked up again as the Mustangs outshot NA 17-16. But the Tigers tied the game with a goal by Joe Smarto with just :37 seconds left. NA wasn't done as Lobas emerged from a wild scramble to bang home a rebound to put the Tigers on top 3-2 with only 10 ticks left on the clock. On to the third and Plum's John Kalichuk scored on a shot from the point that eluded Mike Logoyda. The Mustangs regained the lead when Travis Senchur took advantage of a NA turnover and beat Logoyda on the slapshot at 5:50 and all the sudden Plum was back on top 4-3. North Allegheny is 11-1 this season and showed why as they mounted a furious rally in the final five minutes, which resulted in a Plum penalty. With Logoyda pulled and the extra attacker on Plum could not clear the zone and the puck found its way onto Tyler Haldane's stick and he fed Lobas witha beautiful cross ice pass and Dan buried it past B.J. Schreib to tie the game with just 41 seconds left in regulation. NA outshot Plum 35-28.
