Our kick off of round 2 games. Early tilt between Scotland and Italy was a beaut!!!!! Scotland scored the lone goal in the 1st. Italy slightly out played the Scots in the 2nd 2-1 for a 2-2 tie after 2 periods. Thats a lot of 2’s my goodness. Scots took back the lead at 9:44 in the 3rd. The crazy talking Italians scored twice within 40 seconds at the 6 minute mark to take a 4-3 lead. But the Scots pressed hard and tied up this one at 4’s with just under 2 minutes to go and thats how this puppy finished. Scotland went 0-2 on the PP and Italy was 0-0. Scotland got goals from Patty Sharp, Frank Arruda, Greg Platt and Tim Randa. For the Italians 2 goals from Brad Stoll and singles from Jim Maguire and Jodie Young.
