Recap:
Workdaze's streak came to an end tonight with a tough loss to D4 in the session 60 finals. The game started off well with both teams trying to gain control of the game early. D4 scored first off a weak shot that deflected off a Workdaze defender and in.
The second goal was also a deflection off a Workdaze defender or off of Kevin and in. Both goals were unlucky breaks for Workdaze, and they found themselves down 2-0. They would need another comeback if they were to win their second straight championship.
Unfortunately the comeback never materialized. At halftime the team was positive and thought they could come back. The second half started well, and the game turned a bit rougher. Workdaze finally broke through on a strange play where it looked like the D4 defender caught the ball in the penalty box. The ball dropped to the ground and after a lot of scuffling, Mark finally put it in.
The game continued to get rougher, and PV was called for a 4 minute penalty. Workdaze was unable to hold them off and went down 3-1. Workdaze tried to break through the D4 defense, but they had determined to drop back 3 defenders and kill the clock by dumping the ball.
Workdaze finally caught the break they needed when D4 was called for a 4 minute penalty with 3:40 to play. That meant that Workdaze would have a man advantage for the duration of the game even if they scored. D4 committed another penalty with just over 2 minutes to play, and Workdaze now had a 5 on 3 advantage.
Despite the advantage, Workdaze couldn't put another goal on the board. Their run with no losses came to an end at 19 games. Over that time Workdaze was 18-1-1 with a championship. They outscored their opponents 140-60 over that time.
