The Breakdown: Week 6

Tuesday, May 20, 2014 - Submitted by Shane Miles

In the first weekend of all teams playing double headers, it was another week for the away teams, with four away wins and two of the home wins going to shootout. The Ice have clearly moved into first with a six point weekend moving them six points ahead of the second-place Adrenaline. However, only five points separate second and seventh so it looks like we are in for another cracker of an AIHL season as we approach the halfway mark.

Mustangs 2 @ Bears 1
This was the equal lowest goals scored in a winning performance ever by the Melbourne Mustangs

The Sydney Bears were held to their lowest score of the season so far

Sydney Bears outshot the Melbourne Mustangs 38-33 but were unable to break the Mustangs after the second half goal
