(ALLEN, Texas)—In a heartbreaking defeat, the Rapid City Rush lost to the Allen Americans in overtime, 3-2, at The Credit Union of Texas Event Center on Saturday.
The Rush built a 2-0 lead on the back of second-period goals by Luke Mylymok and Maurizio Colella. Mylymok buried a sneaky shot from atop the right goal line, while Colella converted a shorthanded goal.
That lead stuck until there were under seven minutes remaining in the third period. Mark Duarte and Spencer Asuchak scored 90 seconds apart to tie the game for the Americans, their first two times beating Christian Propp all game.
Kyle Crnkovic ended the game 2:08 into overtime for the Americans, who picked up its first series sweep of the season.
Rapid City leaves Allen with one standings point earned. The team flies to Boise, Idaho tomorrow for a three-game series against the Steelheads beginning Wednesday.
