Crunch put themselves on the precipice of a division title.
SYR-4
UTI-3
Hugo Alnefelt allowed three goals on 13 shots before giving way to Brandon Halverson who stopped all 19 shots he faced the rest of the way for the win. The late season collapse of Hugo Alnefelt’s play, which also happened last season, is a huge red flag.
