Brussels started the third with the man advantage and went to work quickly with Bender notching his second of the game only 16 seconds after the puck was dropped. Then a few seconds later McNevan slapped one home to make it 6-5. With the momentum now with Brussels, the Bulls' Ryan Wright tucked one home a minute later and then 30 seconds after that Murray Kaye got the go ahead goal. However, Brussels could not hold off the powerful Ironmen the rest of the way as Justin Murray picked up his third goal of the Brussels Novices settle for tie game after being left alone in front of the Bulls' netminder Ryan Fisk. The Brussels bench erupted in the dying seconds of the game when it looked like Wright had scored the winner but referee Dave Marsh ruled the puck did not cross the goal line. Coach Scott Pettigrew said overall it was a good weekend. "I wish we would have come out of the gate better Sunday but to come back and get a point was positive. Our powerplay is tops in the league right now and that is keeping us in games, however I would like to see us play better defensively. We have been too lazy as far as checking is concerned."
