RALSTON, N.E. — The Sioux Falls Stampede needed a strong response in their season series with the Omaha Lancers

After a presentation of colors with both teams, the first period started with goals called off for both teams, with Ryland Rooney rolling in a puck behind Sciere before the Lancers challenging and having the goal overturned after a review. The home team would pick up the first goal of the game that would stand at the 12:44 mark, coming off the stick of Charlie Vig.

Ryland Rooney would get his back, picking up a good goal 5:48 into the second period with a rebound shot at an angle. It would be another 7:05 until the next goal would come, with Lancers forward Ryan Aaronson blocking a shot before leading the rush back to the Stampede net and finding the twine.

The third period would see the Herd make a late push with the net empty, but unsuccessful in finding the equalizer.

Omaha netminder Anthony Sciere would pick up his second win of the season against the Herd, stopping 37 of the 38 shots he faced. In the Stampede net, Ryan Cameron had another strong game, stopping 20-of-22.
