Blacksburg had to skate by with only a one-goal margin when they last took the pitch, which might have inspired the eight-goal drubbing they dealt Abingdon last Tuesday. The Bruins were the clear victors by a 10-2 margin over the Falcons. Brendan Osebre was a massive factor in the win as he booted in three goals all by himself.
Meanwhile, while it was all tied up 0-0 at halftime, Fleming was not quite Patrick Henry's equal in the second half on Tuesday. They took a 2-0 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Patriots. Surprisingly, this marked the fourth straight game that the away team has come away the victor.
