Aberdeen's boys' hockey team fell victim to a second-period outburst from Sioux Falls as the Cougars dropped a 4-2 decision to the Flyers on Saturday.
The Cougars had a promising start, grabbing an early lead on a goal from Thomas Hogg in the first period. Dustin Santjer and Ryan Bower assisted on the goal, which was the only scoring of the period.
The hosts tallied three goals in a seven-minute span to take control in the second period. Wyatt Nielsen's goal tied the game and four minutes later, Brextyn Burnette provided the go-ahead score. Caleb Anderson rounded out the second-period scoring.
Aberdeen cut into the lead with 11:12 remaining in the contest on an unassisted goal from Baily Roberts, making the score 3-2. Sioux Falls' final goal came with 7:42 left to go as Brandon Appeldorn concluded the scoring.
Shots on goal were even in the first period at 8-8, but Sioux Falls controlled the final two periods by a 25-6 margin. Cougar goalie Jon Loefke stopped 29 shots.
The Cougars will be in action today with another road game, at Brookings with the varsity game scheduled for 11:30 a.m.
