The teams play was a bit tighter on Saturday but Grand Canyon was still able to find the back of the net twice in the first period to put them up 2-0. An early goal by Long Beach freshman, Logan Peterson, brought the game within one in the second period. However, a short-handed goal and a pair of power play goals put the game out of reach for Long Beach. Grand Canyon University would skate to a 6-2 win and handed Long Beach their second loss in as many games this weekend.
Long Beach looks to bounce back against the visiting Arizona State Sun Devils next weekend.
