Thunder Falls 3-1 In Allen

ALLEN, TX (June 2) – Allen scored three unanswered goals on Wednesday night to pull out a 3-1 victory against Wichita at the Allen Event Center. 

Alex Peters scored the lone Thunder goal with assists to Stephen Johnson and Riley McCourt. 

With the loss, Wichita and Allen are tied atop the West with a .643 winning percentage.

In the second, Brett Neumann tied the game at 15:14. Evan Weninger got tangled up at the top of the crease and was unable to collect a rebound. Neumann found the puck and scored his eighth of the year.

Steven Owre scored the eventual game-winner at 3:05 of the third to make it 2-1. He stole a puck behind the Wichita net and beat Weninger for his fourth of the season. 

Allen was awarded a penalty shot at 3:51 when Noel Hoefenmayer took down Tyler Sheehy near the top of the left circle. Sheehy came in on his off-wing and fired a wrist shot that Weninger stopped to keep it a one-goal game.
