Scoring for the Colts were Tylor Spink and Michael Borkowski. It was a rare loss for Colts’ netminder and CCHL goaltending leader Lukas Hafner. The loss came on heels of a gritty victory by the Colts over the Ottawa Junior Sena- tors last Tuesday night. Roman Ammirato scored two goals and Tyson Spink com- pleted a hattrick with an empty net goal to lift the Cornwall Colts 6-4 over the Junior Senators in Cornwall.
