Jesuit Dallas saw goals scored by
Jack Reynolds and
William Hubbell, but the Rangers saw Frisco East score seven unanswered goals to end the contest en route to upending the Rangers, 7-2.
Mitchell Zenick added an asist for Jesuit Dallas while goalie
Jayson Hess racked up 34 saves. The Rangers had a pair of power play opportunities and were able to hold off three of five man-up chances for Frisco East.
The Rangers will return to the rink on Saturday for the second game of the Texas Amateur Hockey Association (TAHA) Division I Pure State Championship Tournament, where the Blue and Gold will take on Strake Jesuit. Jesuit is 1-0 in pool play following a convincing, 7-2 win over Allen on Tuesday, and can clinch a spot in the final with a win over Strake.
