STATELINE, Nev. – The Tahoe Knight Monsters defeated the New Mexico Goatheads by a score of 2-1 in overtime.

The fireworks in the first period came off of a fight in the opening three minutes between Tahoe’s Tucker Ness and New Mexico’s Dakota Seaman to energize the crowd, but both goaltenders- Tahoe’s Alex Tracy and New Mexico’s Isaiah Saville posted shutout periods, and the two teams went scoreless into the second.

In the middle frame, New Mexico got on the board first courtesy of Grant Ahcan’s first goal of the season to go up 1-0. Saville once again held down the fort in the period, and the Knight Monsters entered the third down a goal.

The final frame is when everything changed. Bronson Ride scored his first professional goal at the 8:21 mark of the period to tie the score at 1, and after a few chaotic sequences, both goaltenders stood their ground, and the game went into overtime.

In OT, it was Ness who scored the overtime winner off a pass from Tyler Rollwagen as the Knight Monsters took 4 out of a possible 6 points on the weekend.

Alex Tracy shined in net, stopping 35 of 36 New Mexico shots, earning him Second Star of the Game honors.
