Nino Evola's Late Winner Gives TImberwolves 2-1 Victory at Davenport

The Timberwolves got on the board early as just 15 minutes into the match Jack Doyle found himself at the end of a long pass by Andrew Behring and passed the ball into an empty net to make the score 1-0. 

Both teams settled into the match, and chances for the remainder of the half were limited as the 1-0 score line held into the midway break. 

Davenport put pressure on the Timberwolves early in the second half, forcing Cobin Cecchini into a pair of saves in the opening part of the half. 

The Panthers, playing for their season, found an equalizer in the 65th minute when Adis Guric buried a shot into the bottom left corner to level the score at 1-1. 

Just when the match looked like it was going to be heading into extra time, Teddy Stacey drove forward through the midfield before slipping a ball forward to Nino Evola who burried a shot into the left side-netting to give the Timberwolves the 86th minute winner. 

The guests were able to see out the final four minutes for the 2-1 victory.
