Game 1: November 1, 2011 Dimond 8 vs. Chugiak Mustangs 0 Boeke The Dimond Lynx didn’t waste any time sending a message to the Cook Inlet Conference teams with an 8-0 pounding of the Chugiak Mustangs. Senior Kody Dubie scored the only goal the Lynx would need at 10:12 of the first period assisted by Lane Bauer and Austin Arnold. Another senior Tyler Thompson joined the scoring column just eleven seconds later to give the Lynx a 2-0 lead after the first period. The Lynx out shot the Mustangs 16-1 in the first period. The fast skating senior heavy Lynx continued to attack the Chugiak net in the second period scoring four more times while taking 16 shots on goal.

The third period saw both teams exchange power play chances until Dawson Glover scored his second of the night on the power play at 5:01 assisted by Tyler Andrews and Lucas Dubie. Joel Tomuro closed out the scoring with just under one minute remaining assisted by Josh Larson and Ben Heafer. First year starter Senior Taylor Sleater had an easy night in goal for the Lynx as he made only 6 saves in earning the shutout. Chugiak goalie Joe Lindquist was very busy stopping 43 saves. Dimond Goalie: Sleater 6 saves Chugiak Goalie: Lindquist 43 saves
****************************************************************************** Game 2: November 3, 2011 Dimond 13 vs. Wasilla Warriors 0 Boeke The Dimond Lynx must be serious about sending a message as they trounced the Wasilla 13-0 showing no mercy to the visiting Warriors. Lane Bauer buried a power play goal at 10:37 assisted by Shilo Vega and Austin Arnold. The goal must have rattled the Warriors as the Lynx scored three more goals in just three minutes. Kody Dubie, Dawson Glover and Vega all found the back of the net to give the lynx a 4-0 lead just seven minutes into the game. The defending Cook Inlet Champs just kept rolling as Tyler Thompson, Ben Heafer and Austin Arnold all scored goals late in the first period to increase the Lynx lead to 7-0 after one period. The Lynx out shot the Warriors 23-7 in the first period. The Warriors changed goalies for the second period which might have helped slow down the Lynx but what really changed the momentum were the ten penalties the Lynx took in a game that became chippy because of the score. The normally calm Lynx repeatedly took retaliation penalties as the Warriors were given free rein because of the 7-0 score. The Lynx still managed to outshoot the Warriors 10-3 but could only score twice as Daniel Roberts and Dawson Glover found net making it a 9-0 lead after two periods. When the Lynx finally settled down for the third period they dominated the game again and out shot Wasilla 20-1 while scoring four more times for the final score of 13-0. Aaron Dunlap found the net followed by Glover, Thompson and Bauer. Dimond Goalie: Sleater 10 saves Wasilla Goalie: Jones 16 saves/Eastham 24 saves
****************************************************************************** Game 3: November 8, 2011 Dimond 3 vs. Palmer 1 Palmer The Lynx fired 20 shots on Palmer goalie Ashton Good in the first period but it took eleven minutes before Lane Bauer found the back of the net. Aaron Dunlap and Austin Arnold assisted on the goal to give the Lynx a 1-0 lead after one period. Dimond goalie Jordan MacMillan made only 6 saves in the period. The second period was more of the same as the Lynx continued to press the outmatched Palmer Moose but a turnover by the Lynx led to the only goal of the period as the Moose tied the game 1-1. The frustrated Lynx scorers continued to press but could not solve the Moose goalie until midway thru the third period when Dawson Glover made it 2-1 at 7:21 assisted by Drake Glover and Ben Heafer. The Lynx held that lead until the last minute when Bauer ripped his second goal of the night to seal the win. Bauer scored at 0:56 remaining assisted by Tyler Thompson and Arnold. The Lynx felt lucky to escape with a 3-1 non conference win and a bruised ego. Hopefully the powerful Lynx offense will be ready when they face the defending STATE CHAMPS from South Anchorage HS on Thursday. Dimond Goalie: MacMillan 16 saves Palmer Goalie: Good 42 saves
****************************************************************************** Game 4: November 10, 2011 Dimond 4 vs. South 0 Boeke The Dimond Lynx wanted to start better than they did at Palmer two nights ago and with a full house at the Boeke Senior Shilo Vega led the way. Vega scored at 10:36 of the first period assisted by Tyler Thompson and Tyler Andrews to give the Lynx a 1-0 lead and they never looked back. Thompson then made it 2-0 at 1:14 of the first assisted by Lane Bauer and Vega. The Lynx continued to pressure the South Wolverines in the second period and extended the lead to 3-0 at 11:33 when Ben Heafer skated out of the corner and found the back of the net assisted by Josh Larson. The Lynx sealed the win late in the second period as Thompson scored his second goal of the night for a final margin of 4-0. South transfer goalie Ben Simpson made 21 saves in the loss.

The Lynx power play did what it should do and tied the game 1-1 at 5:40 with Lane Bauer blasting one past East goalie Owen Carlson finishing off a nice passing play from Tyler Andrews and Tyler Thompson. Ben Heafer made it 2-1 for Dimond assisted by Tony Crow at 2:26. The first period ended with Dimond leading 2-1 but out shooting the Thunderbirds 18-7. The Lynx struggled in period two and had to kill off three straight penalties but still managed to find the net as Shilo Vega made it 3-1 at12:22. The Lynx held that lead until 14:50 of the third period when Drake Glover converted an Aaron Dunlap pass for a 4-1 lead. Tyler Thompson made it 5-1 with a power play goal at 8:42 assisted by Bauer and Vega. Daniel Roberts made it 6-1 at 8:08 assisted by Joel Tomuro and Kody Dubie. The Lynx outshoot the T-Birds 33-16 and are now 6-0 on the season and lead the Cook Inlet Conference. Dimond Goalie: Sleater 15 saves East Goalie: Carlson 27 saves
****************************************************************************** Game 7: November 22, 2011 Dimond 7 vs. Eagle River Wolves 0 Mac The high scoring Lynx did not allow Eagle River goalie Andrew Shortridge a chance to feel comfortable as they fired 20 shots on goal in the first period as they skated to a 4-0 lead. Lane Bauer continued his scoring streak at 7:12 of the period assisted by Mason Anderson and Tyler Thompson. Aaron Dunlap made it 2-0 at 5:20 converting a nice passing play from Drake Glover and Lucas Dubie. Just a minute later Joel Tomuro made it 3-0 Lynx assisted by Daniel Roberts. Then Roberts scored his own goal at 3:27 for a 4-0 Lynx lead. The Lynx then added two quick goals in period two as Bauer scored his second of the game and Tony Crow scored his second of the season and the Lynx lead stretched to 6-0. The Lynx then went on cruise control before adding a late goal by Tomuro and the final of 7-0. Dimond Goalie: Sleater 8 saves/MacMillan 5 saves ER Goalie: Shortridge 42 saves
****************************************************************************** Game 8: November 30, 2011 Dimond 6 vs. Service Cougars 3 Boeke The Dimond Lynx riding a seven game winning streak added a little color to the long time heated rivalry with the Service Cougars. The Lynx wore Pink and White uniforms for cancer awareness in an effort to raise funds for the Susan Butcher Family Center. (See related story in Anchorage Daily News) The Boeke was full, the emotions high and the crowd was loud. Dimond still feeling the pain of losing to Service in last years State semi final took care of business early. Dawson Glover found the net with a power play goal at 11:58 of the first period assisted by Austin Arnold. The Lynx Ben Heafer then scored the first of his three goals at 4:39 to give the Lynx a 2-0 lead. Heafer added his second goal with just forty seconds remaining in the period assisted by Mason Anderson and Josh Larson. With the Lynx cruising to a 3-0 lead they seemed to let up a little and Service star Andrew Cummings made them pay with a power play goal at 12:40 to cut the lead to 3-1. Then the second period turned ugly at 5:19 when Greg Johnson drilled Lynx defensemen Mason Anderson with an elbow to the head near the Service bench. Anderson fell limp to the ice and was tended to immediately by both head coaches and Lynx long time trainer Lynne Young. Young held Andersons head and neck stable while paramedics were called to the Boeke as the crowd was silent. The medics arrived in less than ten minutes and Anderson left the ice on a stretcher. The teams were sent to the locker room to wait out the delay. When the second period resumed the Lynx would enjoy a five minute power play and a chance to really seal the win. However the Lynx were quickly whistled for two weak penalties and instead of a power play they were now killing a penalty. Three of Service top guys made the Lynx pay again as Jeremy Smith buried a power play goal at 2:56 assisted by Garrett Brown and Aaron McInnis. The Lynx held on to escape the second period with a 3-2 lead. With the third period underway and league bragging rights on the line Heafer completed his hat trick at 14:18 assisted by Lane Bauer. The Lynx fed off this goal and started to control the game and stretched the lead to 5-2 at 3:35 as Tyler Andrews ripped net. Service made one last effort to get back in the game as Cummings scored his second goal with just 1:11 remaining. The Lynx responded thirty seconds later and did not give Service a chance to pull their goalie as Senior Kody Dubie made it 6-3 assisted by Andrews and brother Lucas Dubie. The Lynx feel great about the win but quickly turned their thoughts to Anderson and hope for a speedy recovery. Dimond Goalie: Sleater 15 saves Service Goalie: Fritz 19 saves
****************************************************************************** Game 9: December 33, 2011 Dimond 10 vs. West Eagles 0 Boeke The high scoring Dimond Lynx struggled to find their offense but only needed one goal to beat a totally outmatched West Eagle team. West Goalie Darien Dahl made 16 saves and totally frustrated the Lynx in the first period as only Senior Tyler Thompson could find the net. Thompson made it 1-0 at 8:08 assisted by Lane Bauer for the game winning goal. The second period the Lynx scored five more goals on 24 shots as they held the Eagle to zero shots on Dimond goalie Taylor Sleater. Dawson Glover made it 2-0 assisted by Aaron Dunlap at 14:38. Thompson scored his second goal at 8:10 4-0 assisted by Shilo Vega and Tony Crow. Bauer made it 4-0 just fourteen seconds later assisted by Vega and Austin Arnold. Josh Larson extended the lead to 5-0 at 4:22 assisted by Arnold. Then just twenty seconds later Bauer scored his second of the game assisted by Hamilton Walker to close out the second period 6-0. The third period avalanche continued as Aaron Dunlap scored twice and Lucas Dubie and Ben Heafer added goals for the 10-0 final. Dimond Goalie: MacMillan 6 saves West Goalie: Dahl 52 saves ****************************************************************************** Game 10: December 6, 2011 Dimond 6 vs. Wasilla Warriors 2 Brett Arena The long cold bus ride to the Brett Arena must have frozen the legs and brains as the Lynx struggled thru the first period and most of the second. Senior Aaron Dunlap scored the game winning goal with just 1:08 remaining in the second period. The goal seemed to wake up the rest of the Lynx as they added three third period goals for a 6-2 win. Shilo Vega scored the first Dimond goal at 11:37 of the first period assisted by Austin Arnold and Tyler Thompson. Wasilla tied the game 1-1 with a Colton Fletcher goal at 3:09 of the first period. The Warriors then took a 2-1 with just four seconds left in the period as Chancie Hanson scored unassisted. The Lynx spent eight of the fifteen minutes of the period shorthanded which may account for the slow start. Wasilla tried to sit back a nurse the 2-1 lead but it allowed the fast skating Lynx to generate scoring chance after scoring chance. The Lynx out shot the Warriors 23-10 in the second period. Finally with 3:25 remaining in the period Drake Glover found the net assisted by Dunlap and Dawson Glover as the Lynx tied the game at 2-2. Then at 1:08 Dunlap scored the game winner. The Lynx led 3-2 after two periods and never looked back. The Lynx bombarded the Warrior goal with 23 shots in the third period and scored three more goals. The third period really belonged to the Dunlap-Glover brothers’ line. Drake Glover scored three straight third period goals assisted by Dunlap and brother Dawson. With the win the Lynx have now won 10 straight games to start the season. Dimond Goalie: Sleater 25 saves Wasilla Goalie: Massie 53 saves
****************************************************************************** Game 11: December 8, 2011 Dimond 8 vs. East 3 Boeke The Lynx most have gotten the coaches message about personal responsibility and commitment to the team as they destroyed the East thunderbirds in period one. The Lynx out shot the T-Birds 17-3 in the first period taking a 5-0 lead and never looked back. Kody Dubie opened the scoring at 13:20 assisted by Lucas Dubie and Aaron Dunlap. Mason Anderson mad it 2-0 at 12:33 assisted by Dawson Glover. Lane Bauer ripped one high to the glove for a 3-0 lead at 7:30 assisted by Shilo Vega. Dawson Glove added a goal making it 4-0 assisted by Dunlap and Drake Glover at 3:13. Tyler Thompson made it 5-0 with a power play goal at 2:22 assisted by Bauer and Anderson. The second period looked like a different game as East took five penalties as they could not keep up with the Lynx. The Lynx could only manage one power play goal as Drake Glover made it 6-0 at 13:34 assisted by Dawson Glover. The Lynx then went on cruise control and held a 6-0 lead after two periods. The Lynx increased their lead to 7-0 when Solomon Mabry fired one from just inside the blue line assisted by Ben Heafer and Dunlap at 6:39. Dunlap closed out the Lynx scoring at 5:16 assisted by the Glover brothers. For some reason the game changed and became a retaliation nightmare as East continued to freely whack away at the Lynx until a Lynx would retaliate and the earn a trip to the penalty box. The Lynx took five penalties in the last five minutes of the third period while the T-Birds were given zero. Senior Daniel Roberts was given a major and disqualification after slashing an East player in the cup in retaliation for that same East player cup checking a Dimond underclassman. Because the major occurred in the third period Roberts will miss the next two games. With the Lynx one or two players down the last five minutes the T-Birds were able to score three power play goals for a final score of 8-3. The Lynx will need to be more disciplined in future blowouts to keep the winning streak going. Dimond Goalie: Sleater 11 saves East Goalie: Kitagawa 29 saves
****************************************************************************** Game 12: December 9, 2011 Dimond 7 vs. Lathrop Malamutes 2 Boeke The Lynx made some line up changes for non conference game versus Lathrop and the result was the same? A great first period and an easy win. Shilo Vega started the scoring at 11:17 assisted by Tyler Thompson. Drake Glover made it 2-0 on the power play at 7:31 assisted by Aaron Dunlap and Dawson Glover. Lane Bauer made it 3-0 Dimond at 3:53 off a great pass from Mason Anderson. Lathrop made a little push back at 3:31 as Ty Munson made a nifty move and slid the puck past Sleater to close the gap to 3-1 to end the first period. The second period was pretty boring as the play was in the neutral zone most of the time. Dunlap created a little excitement finally making it 4-1 at 7:27 tipping in a Tyler Andrews blast from the blue line. The Lynx picked things back up in the third period as Anderson, Thompson and Dawson Glover all scored goals. Lathrop senior Jacob Wolter scored on a power play to close out the game 7-2 Dimond. The Lynx out shot the Malamutes 43-16. Dimond Goalie: Sleater 14 saves Lathrop Goalie: Brown 36 saves ****************************************************************************** Game 13: December 16, 2011 Dimond 8 vs. Chugiak Mustangs 0 Boeke The Lynx continue to score in record numbers as they whip the Chugiak Mustangs 8-0 for the second time this season. The Lynx controlled the play form the opening drop out shooting the Mustangs 19-2 in the first period scoring four times. Dawson Glover buried a wrist shot at 8:10 assisted by Aaron Dunlap and Drake Glover for a 1-0 lead. Under two minutes later Tyler Thompson one timed a Lane Bauer pass for a 2-0 Lynx lead. Thompson scored his second goal on a power play at 0:24 assisted by Bauer and Tyler Andrews. Brandon Sakumoto playing in Daniel Roberts spot scored with just fifteen seconds left in the period assisted by Kody Dubie. The Mustangs were happy to escape the period with a chance to recover while the ice was resurfaced. Dimond wasted no time in making sure there would be no comeback when Dawson Glover scored his second of the game at 12:58 assisted by Tony Crow and Dunlap for a 5-0 lead. The “Dubie” brothers made it 6-0 at 10:06 when Kody Dubie took a Lucas Dubie pass and fired it into the back of the net. The Lynx really turned up the heat and Dunlap scored two quick goals assisted by Dawson Glover for the final 8-0 margin. Dimond Goalie: Sleater 7 saves Chugiak Goalie: Lindquist 43 saves ****************************************************************************** Game 14: January 4, 2012 Dimond 16 vs. Eagle River 1 Boeke The Lynx like most teams try to regroup after the Holiday break as players are sore, sick and tired from long comp team trips. The Dimond coaches figured the best medicine would be to get back to work on the ice and the weight room and had one of the hardest practices of the season in preparation of this game. The Eagle River Wolves must have missed the lesson about not waking a sleeping cat!
The Eagle River Wolves Carter Jesill certainly missed that lesson as he streaked down the left boards and wristed the puck over the glove of Dimond goalie Taylor Sleater for a 1-0 lead at 7:06 of the first period. The Lynx weren’t really sure what happened until the Wolves kept coming and Lynx players were being knocked all over the ice. Junior defenseman Tyler Andrews took matters into his own hands and skated end to end and rifled the puck into the top of the net with 0:54 remaining to tie the score 1-1. Then with 0:07 remaining Daniel Roberts scored assisted by Solomon Mabry and Kody Dubie for a 2-1 first period lead. Who knows what was said in the locker room or maybe what wasn't said but the senior heavy Lynx got the message and scored six unanswered goals in the second period for a commanding 8-1 lead that devastated the short Eagle River bench. Dawson Glover made it 3-1 at 12:48 assisted by Aaron Dunlap. Lucas Dubie made it 4-1 just 0:26 seconds later. Shilo Vega made it 5-1 with a shorthanded unassisted goal at 9:52. The Lynx then went on the power play and Andrews scored his second with a wrist shot thru traffic assisted by Josh Larson and Drake Glover. Then with 1:23 remaining in the second period Roberts took a feed in the slot form Kody Dubie and blasted one high to the glove side for a 7-1 lead. Kody Dubie made it 8-1 with a shorthanded goal on a breakaway with just 0:01 remaining in the period. Eagle River goalie Lopez had stopped 28 shots thru two periods and ran out of gas as he struggled in the third period to maintain his focus as the Lynx scored 8 goals on just 12 shots. Roberts scored his third of the game on a backhand to the top corner, Dawson Glover then scored two straight goals for his hat trick both assisted by Aaron Dunlap and Drake Glover. Josh Larson made it 12-1 with a tip in off a Tyler Andrews blast. Tyler Thompson fired in a Lane Bauer pass at 9:22 to make it 13-1. Drake Glover added an unassisted shorthanded goal and Lane Bauer then added two goals assisted by Vega and Thompson to finish the game 16-1. The Lynx scored four shorthanded goals and went 2 for 2 on the power play. The Lynx are now 14-0 on the season. Dimond Goalie: Sleater 5 saves Eagle River Goalie: Lopez 32 saves
****************************************************************************** Game 15: January 9, 2012 Dimond 12 vs. Bartlett Bears 0 Boeke The #1 Dimond Lynx made quick work of last place Bartlett scoring just 50 seconds into the game. Aaron Dunlap scored on a nice passing play from Dawson Glover and Drake Glover. The Lynx went on to outscore the Bears 12-0 while out shooting them 60-3 in the game. Lane Bauer made it 2-0 at 12:52 assisted by Shilo Vega. Dawson Glover made it 3-0 at 3:49 assisted by Tyler Andrews and Dunlap. Tyler Thompson scored the next two goals to end the first period with the Lynx leading 5-0. With the Lynx on cruise control and working on passing and cycling the puck the second period only saw three goals as Ben Heafer scored off a Daniel Roberts pass before leading scorer Thompson scored two more goals for an 8-0 lead after two periods. Vega made it 9-0 Lynx at 13:08 of the third period assisted by Bauer and Thompson. Tony Crow then set up Thompson for his fifth goal of the game at 12:24. Defenseman Austin Arnold wristed one from the blue line at 9:02 and Heafer scored his second of the game at 7:43 to make it 12-0 Lynx. The Lynx did not take a shot on goal the rest of the game. If the conference standings remain as they are today these two teams wil meet in the first round of the conference tourney that begins January 30th. Dimond Goalie Sleater 3 saves Bartlett Goalie: Driskell 48 saves ****************************************************************************** Game 16: January 11, 2012 Dimond 6 vs. West Eagles 2 Boeke The Lynx were missing two defensemen as Solomon Mabry was ill and Mason Anderson injured but the offense took charge early as the Lynx sprinted to a 4-0 first period lead. Dimond’s fourth line started the scoring when Joel Tomuro scored at 14:09 assisted by Josh Larson and Ben Heafer. That line struck again at 10:19 as Heafer converted a Tomuro pass for a 2-0 lead. The Lynx top line decided they better get involved at 9:34 as Shilo Vega scored assisted by Lane Bauer and Tyler Thompson. Heafer scored his second of the game at 4:40 assisted by Tomuro to make it 4-0. The Eagles must have had a good talk between periods as Kieran Kuiper cut the lead to 4-1 at 9:35 of the second. The Eagles defense kept the Lynx off the board until late in the period when Lane Bauer scored twice in thirty seconds for a 6-1 lead. The Lynx backed off in the third period and allowed another West goal at 3:12 with Ted Kelly scoring assisted by Kuiper.. Dimond Goalie: Sleater 9 saves West Goalie: Miller 56 saves ****************************************************************************** Game 17: January 18, 2012 Dimond 4 vs. West Valley Wolfpack 1 Boeke The West Valley Wolfpack made a mid-week stop in Anchorage on their way to Juneau for a couple of games. The Lynx have a long history with the Wayne Sawchuk lead team from the frozen interior of Alaska. The two teams have met several times in the first round of the ASAA State Tournament and always have a great game. This time should be different as the Lynx have 8 seniors and the Wolfpack are loaded with young underclassmen. The difference showed early as the Lynx outshot the Wolfpack 13-0 in the first period. The Wolfpack goalie Matt Taylor saved his best game for the Lynx and stopped all but one as Dawson Glover scored at 9:47 assisted by Aaron Dunlap to give the Lynx a 1-0 lead after one period. The Lynx continued to fire pucks from close range in the second period outshooting the Wolfpack 18-5 but again Taylor was up to the task stopping all but one shot. Dawson Glover netted his second goal assisted by his brother Drake Glover at 5:38 to give the Lynx a 2-0 lead after two periods. The Lynx seemed frustrated but continued to make good passes and look for quality scoring chances instead of just firing from all areas. Taylor stood strong in goal making several great saves on backdoor plays. The Wolfpack Eric Weber cut the lead to 2-1 at 14:13 of the third period giving them some hope but the Lynx responded with two quick goals for a 4-1 final. Tyler Thompson ripped net from the slot at 13:01 assisted by Austin Arnold. The Josh Larson scored from the corner of the rink as he fired the puck on goal that deflected off a defenseman into the net at 7:48 assisted by Ben Heafer and Joel Tomuro. The Lynx have one non-conference game remaining versus Lathrop before focusing on their last two conference games next week versus South (1-24) and Service (1-26). Dimond Goalie: MacMillan 6 saves West Valley Goalie: Taylor 44 saves ****************************************************************************** Game 18: January 21, 2012 Dimond 6 vs. Lathrop Malamutes 1 Boeke The Lynx started a little slow in this Saturday afternoon game allowing Dawson Hebard to score on a rebound to give Lathrop a 1-0 lead at 11:38 of the first period. Lathrop had a 3 on 1 rush as the puck took a bad bounce past a Lynx defensemen. Lathrop’s Max Blankenship chased down a loose puck and rifled a shot from the right boards. Dimond goalie Jordon MacMillan made a pad save but it bounced right onto Hebard stick for an easy tap in. The Lynx picked up the pace and outshot Lathrop 15-5 in the first period but could not solve Ian Morey and Lathrop lead 1-0 after one period. The second period turned a little chippy and Dimond was penalized four times and Lathrop six times. The Lynx took advantage of their chances and scored four times on the power play and kept Lathrop off the score board. Austin Arnold tied the game 1-1 at 12:03 on a power play wrist shot thru traffic assisted by Tony Crow. Tyler Thompson made it 2-1 at 11:27 with a wicked wrist shot from the circle assisted by Lane Bauer and Shilo Vega. Then the penalties started to come. The Lynx killed off four in a row before Lathrop took four straight penalties allowing the Lynx to take over the game. Ben Heafer scored a power play goal at 2:15 assisted by Lucas Dubie and Tyler Thompson. Heafer made it 4-1 with an unassisted power play goal at 1:39 as he skated between three Lathrop defenders and fired a backhander into the top of the net. Vega then fired another power play goal with just seven seconds left in the period assisted by Tyler Andrews and Arnold for a 5-1 lead after two periods. Lathrop didn’t get the message and continued to take penalties in the third period and the Lynx scored another power play goal at 6:16 when Arnold fired the puck from the blue line and it was deflected in off a Lathrop defensemen. The Lynx now lead 6-1 and cruised to a win. Dimond Goalie: MacMillan 11 saves Lathrop Goalie: Morey 45 saves ****************************************************************************** Game 19: January 24, 2012 Dimond vs. South Wolverines Boeke The Lynx Dimond Goalie: saves South Goalie: saves ****************************************************************************** Game 20: January 26, 2012 Dimond vs. Service Cougars Boeke
