Story By: Steve Newton

Bensenville, IL (November 27, 2010) -  
Since they entered the league last season, Youngstown has given the Steel absolute fits and Saturday night was no different as the Phantoms left The Edge Ice Arena with a 3-1 victory. Chicago is now 0-7-1 against Youngstown.

The first period looked like it was going to end in a scoreless tie, but Youngstown’s John Fritsche beat Connor Wilson (Yale University) with 31 seconds remaining to give the Phantoms a 1-0 advantage going into the first intermission.

Youngstown added to its lead, three minutes, 17 seconds into the second frame with a goal by Nilan Nagy. Jay Camper (University of New Hampshire) got the Steel rolling with his sixth goal of the season at the 5:41 mark of the second to cut the Youngstown lead to 2-1.

Cole Gunner provided the assist on Camper’s goal, his third assist in the last two games and twelfth assist of the year.
Chicago spent the majority of the third period on the attack, but a few unfortunate bounces and a couple of nice saves by Youngstown’s Matt O’Connor prevented Chicago from gaining the equalizer. The Phantoms added an empty netter with 59 seconds left to skate away with a 3-1 victory.

Wilson made 24 stops between the pipes for the Steel in the loss and Youngstown outshot the Steel 27-20 in the contest.
Chicago will be back in action next Friday when it travels to Cedar Rapids to take on the Rough Riders at 7:05 p.m.
