Avalanche Loses to McFarland

Monroe’s lone goal against McFarland was scored by Cade Martin in the third period.
“We played well the first half of the first period, but we were skating out of position too much and we got tired too quickly. It hurt missing Tyler Johnson and Evan Byrnes, and it showed. We started playing much better the second and third periods. Now we have a long weekend for everyone to rest up and heal,” commented Coach Josh Smith.
The final score was McFarland 9, Monroe 1.
