First three periods were rather dull, just one each from the basic escapes Archived Message Posted by Potomac on March 22, 2025, 19:11:25, in reply to "Awesome. I was out to dinner and missed it. Details?!*" Then Byrd attacked aggressively in the OT, almost had the win. Illinois appealed and lost. He continued to be aggressive, but then almost lost when Ayala just about had him. Byrd was partly saved by some stall points against Ayala. Previous Message Previous Message Previous Message Previous Message Byrd, Webster and Ruth.
