After an ejection, Neal Hosper recovers a rebound and scores from the left post to give NC a 3-0 lead
Alvarado hits the post in the final two minutes
Fratto denies Herron's shot from the left side
Bouschlicher sneaks one through the defense and the goalie to get Ignatius on the board in the final minute of the half
Herron draws an ejection and Rickert scores. Nice response for Central. 4-1 with 0:40 left in the first half
That's how things end at the half...NC 4 Ignatius 1
NC 4 IGNATIUS 1
Q3
Howenstine coverts a penalty shot at the start of the half, 5-1
Bouschlicher grabs a loose ball and slots into the right side of the cage from 5m, 5-2
Rickert's 5m backhand skips into the right corner and Central goes ahead 6-2
Juarez responds from 4m and the lead is sliced to 6-3
Maloney has a chance from 5m but his shot is blocked by Altuve
Fratto passes ahead to Alvarado who beats Stablein on the break to make the score 6-4 late in the third period
Alvarado gets open AGAIN on a breakaway but Stablein makes one...no, TWO straight saves and Central calls a timeout
That would have cut the lead to one and momentum would have clearly been with the Wolfpack. Instead, Central should breathe a sigh of relief after those saves
Herron earns a penalty shot; Rickert skips a shot in to make it 7-4
Juarez loses his cap at the same time as his shot spins into the left corner in the dying seconds of the period. Big goal there.

Howenstine scores again from just outside 2m; 10-5
