The game started out with an early goal from River City in the first period, again. The Evansville Kings responded with a goal of their own in the next few minutes. This time the score was 2-1 at halftime the home team ahead.
The second half saw yet another flurry of goals, five more by the Evansville Kings as they continue the pattern of being a strong 3rd quarter team. River City scored three of their goals, as well, in the fourth to close the game at a score of 7-5.
Daniel Dormeier, who missed the game last weekend, roared with two goals, as well as Jeremy Tudela with a pair of his own scores. Austin Andrekus scored early with a header off of the goalie’s kick. Ryan Moll and Danny Pratte also contributed with a goal apiece. Seven is total of goals scored in each of the three Preseason Games for the Evansville Kings.
