[SUPER=03-Roanoke/Storm vs. Express; :00]
This is only time the Express is home on a Friday and Saturday night until mid-February.
Toledo opens things up as Jason Norrie scores from right face-off circle as the Storm goes in front 1-to-nothing in the opening period.
It was 2-to-nothing before Roanoke came alive. Vern Fiddler behind the net to Rod Taylor to Duncan Dalmao who fires it straight in. It's now 2-to-1.
Roanoke again. This time Pete Gardiner takes care of business on his own with finesse goal.
[super=38-Toledo/7/Roanoke/5;]
The Express loses 7-to-5 despite outshooting Toledo by 20 shots.

16 teams from Augusta County to Pulaski County are taking part in the tournament, but Roy Stanley says it hard to miss the balance of the Blue Ridge.
