As for his game-winning goal, Rixey said, “I came around the goal and left my feet to shoot the ball and it hit the goalie. There was a loose ball in front of the goal with people fighting for it, and fortunately for us the ball ended up in their goal.” Rixey finished the game with one assist and seven ground balls.
