Seven goals were scored in third quarter – six by the Cats, one by the Bulldogs. Sophomore Michael Boehm (two goals), Chris Larsen, Jack Moriarty, and Nathan Conry absolutely feasted in this quarter. With explosive passes, defense, and extreme offensive power moves, the Cats pulled ahead, 10-4.

Good job Cats, keep up the intensity!
