(Vinton, VA) - The NC State Icepack picked up their second of the season with a 3-2 victory on the road against the Virginia Tech Hokies in their first game.
The Icepack started hot out the gate, getting lots of pucks to the net, resulting in Junior Austin Finch recording his first goal of the season. Following that goal, NC State had trouble staying out of the box, leading to two Virginia Tech power play goals, both coming from Hokies captain Gavin Peduzzi. Quickly after the second power play goal from the Hokies, The Icepack’s Nick Shook was able to turn the tables with an unassisted power play goal of his own, tying the game 2-2. Less than 30 seconds after Shook's goal, Freshman defenseman Tait Sawden gave the Icepack the lead once again with a powerful shot from the blue line, recording his first goal of the season off a feed from Freshmen, Brayden Strong.
