The Demons made another statement Friday with a shutout win at Pueblo Centennial, a team that came into the matchup with a 10-1 record. Durango took it to Pueblo Centennial as Corbin Lyman, Connor Henry and Rodrigo Morales scored the goals for the scorching hot Demons.
“It was another good test for us, and the boys just keep rolling along,” Demons head coach Dalon Parker said. “They’ve got something special going now, but we have to keep it going and there’s another tough test in front of us (Saturday).”
Trey Furnas needed just three saves to secure his seventh shutout of the season between the pipes for the now 9-1 Demons, who will look to make it eight in a row Saturday at Pueblo Central.
