Zion) tried to take advantage of a shot which was also saved, point blank, by Samuelson. The second half saw the Titans show some grit, taking another 14 shots with no luck of them falling. Opportunities arose for both sides of the field to score but no one was able to capitalize and the game ended 1-nil in favor of the Titans. Kedzior saw six more saves to round out an eight save game showing a great performance with 90 minutes in between the pipes.
