| The Express successfully defended their D League crown displaying their trademark bend-but-don't-break defense to frustrate the Wolf Pack's high-powered offense in a 3-1 win. Russ Christian continued his playoff heroics tallying two goals and one assist to lead to an efficient Express attack. But it was the defense anchored by the cool presence of goalie Chris Alesi that clinched the championship. In a one-sided third period dominated by the Pack, the Express repeatedly fended off all scoring attempts forcing perimeter shots and limiting rebound attempts. | |||||||||||||
