The Tacoma Stars played an enthralling end-to-end match with the Turlock Express last Friday night, emerging victorious thanks in large part to the efforts of Vince McCluskey and Chase Hanson. The Stars entered the match sitting third in the MASL Pacific Conference, needing a win to keep pace with the teams ahead of them in the standings. It had only been only one week since the two squads met in a 7-3 Stars victory.
In terms of action, the first quarter seemed to lack it, with both teams failing to record a shot on goal early in the frame.
