Game Recap
Coming into today's game, the Timberwolves had been far from good but they hung in with the Storm in the first half.

In the second half, the Storm arguably played much better than in the first. They overwhelmingly controlled the ball in Northwood's territory and got off eleven shots. However, after making a goalie change to start the second, Northwood's new goalkeeper Henri Grundewald did not allow the Storm to score and recorded eight saves in the half.

In the 71st minute, Northwood finally got on the board and in the 78th, they scored once more to take the lead and hand the Storm a 2-1 loss.

Peperak led the team with five shots, all of which were on goal. Jack Bole was right behind him with four and Aaron Garrote had three himself.
