Eau Claire jumped out to a 17-0 lead early into the 2nd quarter before Menomonie knew what happened. Turnovers, penalties and a stout Crush defense killed Thunderhawks momentum in the second half. Late in the game Menomonie had their chances to cut into the lead or take the lead but a very good EC defense stuffed them twice inside the 10 yard line.
Overall, it was a good game played by both teams, but I'm sure the players and coaches have some work to do it they want to make the playoffs this season.
