VULCANS AND SPARTANS:  The Spartans swept the season series last year with 5-2 and 10-1 victories.  In Cleveland the Vulcans played the Spartans close with Bacon keeping them in the contest stopping 41 of 46 shots faced.  In the second meeting the Vulcans fell behind 9-0 before managing to find the back of the net

VULCANS LEADING SCORERES:  The Vulcans leading scorers are Justin Smith with two goals for two points, Brady Parkinson with one goal for one point and Rick Myers for one assist for one point.  The Vulcans are led in net by Josh Bacon who is 0-2 with a 3.79 GAA and a .840 save percentage.
