Fondy Slays Another Giant

Fond du Lac got out to a 2-0 lead on Eau Claire Memorial last night with a goal from Paul Biolo straight out of the penalty box in the first period, and another by Cody Lettau in the second period. Eau Claire Memorial struck back in the second period as Mike Miettunen notched a goal. Eau Claire Memorial outshot Fondy 31 to 20 including 16 to 2 in the final period, but Fondy hung on for the 2-1 victory. The Cardinals have now knocked off #2 Stevens Point who were 23-0 and #1 Eau Claire Memorial who were 24-0.

Up next for the Cardinals is the team that owns the record for most state titles (12), Superior. Fondy's Head Coach Ryan Sarazin was an Assistant at Superior prior to taking over the Fondy program from Wes Bolin three years ago. If memory serves me correct, Superior dispatched Fondy in 2004-2005 from the State Tournament, while Fondy defeated Superior last season in the State Tournament. Fondy makes their second consecutive appearance in the State Championship game after being dismantled by University School last season in the title game.
