While the snow was falling outside Saturday, the pucks were flying inside the nets as David Burns and Dane Korsi scored two goals apiece as the Orono Spartans broke a 2-2 tie with four third period goals to beat the St. Louis Park Orioles 6-2 at The Rec Center.
Burns began the first period for the Spartans as he got a pass from Jack Suchy and his shot from the right slot entered the net. Korsi would put Orono ahead by two with 1:10 left in the period as he rebounded Daniel Eckerline's shot and scored.
The Orioles would bounce back in the second period to tie the game with a pair of goals. Johnny Sorenson would score off a pass from Brenton Ryan and Bauer Neudecker would rebound Ryan's shot to even the score at two.
Orono would vault into the lead in the third period. St. Louis Park goalie William Pinney was playing out of the net and he paid the price as Max Luedtke found an opening on Phinney's right to put the puck in the net. Burns would pick up his second goal on a pass from Nick Anderson while both teams were skating four on four for :55. Landon Wittenberg picked up his first goal of the season as he scored from the left side of the net. As time was winding down in the third period, Oriole head coach Colin Hohman pulled Phinney for a sixth attacker and Korsi wrapped up the scoring on an empty net goal with :23 to play.
The Spartans improved their record to 3-2 and return to action on Thursday, December 15 against the Bloomington Kennedy Eagles at PM at the Bloomington Ice Garden. The Orioles fell to 2-2 and will also be in action on the 15th as they travel to Mound-Westonka Whitehawks at 7 PM.
