After a physically and emotionally draining overtime victory over Dakota United, the Robins lost a heartbreaker in double-overtime to the Anoka-Hennepin Mustangs.  The Robins led 1-0 after the first period, and got out to a 2-0 lead half-way through the second period.  Anoka managed a goal a few minutes later to make it a 2-1 game heading into the third period.  The Robins pushed the lead to 3-1 early in the third, but Anoka responded to make it 3-2.  The Robins lead was 4-2 with 7:00 left in the game, but Anoka battled back to tie it at 4 and send it into overtime.  The Robins had a chance to win it on a break-away by Ethan Brenna early in the first overtime, but Anoka made a good defensive play to stay in it.  Early in the second overtime, Steven Halsey, Ethan Brenna and Mike Madson all had great scoring chances, but couldn’t manage to find the back of the net.  The Mustangs capitalized on a Robins mistake with 1:09 left of the second overtime to claim the title.  Halsey finished the game with 3 goals and 1 assist.  Mike Madson had 1 goal, and Ethan Brenna and Andy Madson each had 1 assist.  Harrison Lerner did an awesome job as the Robins’ goalie, making 32 saves.

The Robins opened the 2010 Adapted Floor Hockey tournament with a bang, defeating the South Suburban Flyers 10-1.  The second period of this game was perhaps the Robins best period of the season, as they completely controlled the tempo of the game, and scored eight goals.  The Robins were led by Steven Halsey’s 5 goals and 1 assist.  Ethan Brenna had 2 goals and 2 assists, Erin Nickell had 1 goal and 2 assists, Mike Madson had 1 goal and 1 assist, Joey Besner had 1 goal and Andy Madson had 2 assists.  Harrison Lerner made 11 saves as the starting goalkeeper to earn the win.
