Portage loses last game before holiday break

The Voyageurs had a chance to go into the Holiday break with a win as they went into Camrose on Friday to face the Augustana Vikings.

Augustana had beaten the Voyageurs 1-0 in Lac La Biche only a few weeks earlier.

The Voyaguers had a strong first period as they outshot Augustana by a tally of 20-12 but left the period down by a goal, the Voyageurs also had to powerplay chances in the first but were still down 1-0 after 20 minutes.

The second period has easily been the worst part of the game for the Voyageurs all seasons and once again the trend continued as the Vikings scored 3 more goals in the second to bring their lead to 4-1, Kirk Moore had the lone Portage goal.

In the third period the Voyageurs once again outshot their opponent but were unable to cash-in on their many opportunities.

Gerald Desjerlais scored the only Portage goal in the 3rd, his first of the season in a game that saw the Voyageurs give up 3 more goals in the 3rd and lose 7-2.

The Voyageurs play their next home game on January 8th hosting MacEwan, at the brand new Bold Center.
