BROOKFIELD- The Jaguars rallied back from a one goal deficit and went on to defeat the Brookfield Stars by a final of 5-4 (Dec. 2) at The Ponds of Brookfield.
After a scoreless first period, Joey Hamielec and Liam Golden put the Jaguars up 2-0 just eight minutes into the second period.
Inexplicably, though, the Stars rattled off three straight goals. The last came with just ten minutes remaining in the game to put them in front 3-2.
However, the Jaguars steadied themselves on the road.
Golden scored the game tying goal and Roethlisberger the go-ahead goal with just three minutes left in the game.
Each team scored once more (Palfy for the Jaguars and Parker Esswein for the Stars) to provide the final one goal margin for Ashwaubenon.
The Jaguars improve to 4-1 on the season and will be back in action Dec. 9 when they take on the Bay Port Pirates in a key FRCC showdown!
