The UCF Knights defeated the Icebulls in Orlando, Florida last night 5-2. Coming into tonight's game, UCF was ranked #1 in the region. The game started with a questionable penalty call against the Icebulls. It only got worse from there. The team racked up 15 penalty minutes in the first period alone. The frustrated Icebulls managed to escape the first period down only 1-0.

Late in the second period, Aly Dhanani shot the puck off the crossbar and in. This would have made the game 3-2, but the goal was called back. Fitting to the way the calls went that night against the Icebulls, the officials did not see it go in and did not allow the goal.

All in all, it wasn't a bad performance against the #1 ranked team considering the obstacles set in front of them. The Icebulls look to bounce back Saturday night as they face the Knights at home at the Ice Sports Forum in Brandon at 9pm. Be sure to come out and support your Icebulls!
