The Squirrels took over sole possession of first place Monday with a 4-3 shootout victory over the Bullets.
Vivek Pinto scored on his first shift of the game, but the Bullets scored twice and led 2-1 after the first period. The Squirrels had a much better second period, as Chi Pham and Brent Machado each scored to put the Squirrels back on top. With a power play going into the third, the Squirrels came out soft and gave up a shorthanded goal.
Then came the shootout, where Pinto and Amy Reich each scored to seal the victory.
Each goal and assist came from the same two players on the Bullets. Reich had two assists. Merritt Lyon played his first game in net this season for the Squirrels. Each team had a two-man advantage but neither scored.
