The Gryphon defence Johnathan Berthiaume and Royce Lin were on fire passing the puck up allowing the Gryphons to score their 2nd goal off a great shot on net made by Ayden Lamorea and the fantastic rebound shot by Cole Gibson to score!! With 2 mins left in the 3rd, the Fusion pulled their goalie trying to find a way to score on the unstoppable Gryphons!!!
