Despite not getting the win, overall, it was a good start to the season for a very young group of Robins’ players. Seventh grader Chaun Johnson scored the first goal of the season, and Tyler Sarff scored on a nice pass from Jeremy Jost to get the Robins within one goal at 3-2 at half-time. Mike Madson and Jeremy Jost each scored goals in the second half to give the Robins a 4-3 lead. Unfortunately, the Pirates netted the game-tying goal with just over a minute left in the game. Anthony Moore and Rodney Sankawulo both blocked 5 shots defensively, and goalie Charlie Wittmer stopped 29 of the 33 shots he faced.
