Brighton 6 Lansing Eastern 0

This night brought together the 2003 Bulldogs for the first time without one of its' most loyal supporters. Phyllis Kammann, the mother of Aaron Kammann past away this afternoon, only a few hours before the start of the game. The decision was made to inform the team prior to warm ups so that they could fully understand the loss that Aaron had suffered and the job they would have to do without him. There was not a sound as Aaron's teammates, coaches, parents and fans stood motionless in remembrance of the voice of support that was silenced this night.

This was to be the toughest game the Bulldogs would play all season. No matter the outcome the results would not change. Regardless, like every other thing that has been thrown at this team all season they rose to the call and perservered.

In the 34 minute Adam Tillman sent a shot toward goal that carromed off of a defender into the back of the net giving the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead.
