Turnstone's Founders Cup team, the Furious Flyers, battled hard in each game with a 0-3-1 record in the opening weekend games. Furious started off with a match versus the higher-cup team, ASPO Force. The Force veteran's talent was the deciding factor in a 0-3 defeat. Turnstone's first-year athlete, Evelyn Brinker, scored in the opening minute of the second match versus the Mary Free Bed (MFB) Overdrive from Grand Rapids. The Overdrive is led by former Turnstone athlete, Brandon Stump, who had the lone assist in a 1-1 tied. Owen Donahue was able to join our team on day two as he was watching the games remotely and itching to get back on the court. Furious Flyers looked fantastic in their team communication and positioning. Second-year athlete, Kadence Waldron; led the charge; however, Turnstone was just shy in a 0-1 loss to the Host Shots from Greenfield, IN. In the final match of the weekend, there was a goal in the very first minute along with the very last minute of the match. Unfortunately, both goals plus one in between were by the Overdrive as MFB had the upper hand in this 0-3 rematch. In between the pipes, veteran athlete, Lucas Wable was stellar and only gave up one goal in two matches, finishing with a 2.0 Goals Against Average for the weekend.
