GOALIES—McCall, Mark Liebich (41 saves).SV, David Stone (28 saves, 2-2-1 season record).

OFFICIALS—Referee, Tom Fischer; linesmen, John Olson and John Heinrich.

NOTES—Given a spark by a power play, the Suns had the better of the action in the first 10 minutes of the game and it could have been 3-0 after one, if not for Liebich's dazzling save on Ryan Enrico's wrist shot, from Ryan McDonald, with 1:55 left. Then McCall scored in the final 11 seconds on a rebound and the score became 2-1.....Bobby Ingraham, who scored 30 points for the Air Force Academy 15 years ago, took the Suns defense to school with some nifty stickwork and beat David Stone high for a 3-3 game with 12:28 left in the second.....Sun Valley Junior Hockey product Trevor Thomas worked very hard for his first goal. He took McCall's Scott Davis into the boards, skated back out toward the blue line then positioned himself in the crease when he saw Ryan McDonald gather the puck to the left of Mountaineer goalie Liebich. McDonald, who showed tremendous passing ability all season, whipped a quick pass to Ivars Muzis on the point, and Muzis fired a hard one deflected home by Thomas.....An Enrico goal on a home run pass from McDonald was disallowed by offsides with six minutes left in the game, keeping the score 7-5 instead of making it 7-6.....The Suns couldn't convert on a 5-on-3 power play with six minutes left, and defenseman Kris Webster drilled a slapshot off the goalpost with 4:20 on the clock.....Suns forward lines were Frank Salvoni-Jamie Ellison-Vilnis Nikolaisons, Ryan Enrico-Ryan McDonald-Trevor Thomas, John Bidon-Bryan Winkler-Caleb Baukol. Defensemen were Chris Warrington, Ivars Muzis, Josh Jacobson, Kris Webster and Normunds Krepss.

OFFICIALS—Referee, Tom Fischer; linesmen, Curtis Martin and Eric Wingard.

NOTES—Fittingly, the Suns ended the season with a shorthanded goal. This year, the Suns had 10 shorthanded goals in 19 games, compared to just 1 shorthanded goal for the opposition.....Suns forward lines were Vilnis Nikolaisons-Jamie Ellison-Scott Winkler, Ryan Enrico-Ryan McDonald-Blake Jenson, Frank Salvoni-Bryan Winkler-Caleb Baukol. When the Suns fell behind and started looking for more scoring, Jenson moved to left wing on the Bryan Winkler line, and team captain Salvoni joined Enrico and McDonald. Defensemen wrapping up the season were Chris Warrington, Ivars Muzis, Josh Jacobson, Kris Webster and Normunds Krepss.....The Suns, averaging just over 3 goals a game for their final six compared to their season scoring average of 6.1 goals per game, ended the season winless in their last six games after a nine-game mid-season winning streak.....Suns goalie John Bidon stopped Cal Ingraham twice, in alone, with 45 seconds left in the first period to keep the score deadlocked at 1-1.....A nice combination between Ryan Enrico and Ryan McDonald that looked like a second-period goal was disallowed when Liebich dislodged the net.....McCall outpointed the Suns 32-18 led by its high-scoring line of Cal Ingraham (2 goals, 4 assists), Dave Ingraham (3-0)/Bobby Ingraham (2-0) and John Ursillo (0-4), who accounted for 15 of the 32 points. But the Mountaineers also had a young, productive Boise State University line featuring T.J. Stanton, Phil McKinnon and Bill Blackadar, who accounted for 3 of the 12 Mountaineers goals on the weekend....Liebich (9-8-1, 4.40 goals against), Cal Ingraham (28 points) and Bobby Ingraham were teammates on the 1989-90 Air Force Academy team.....The Mountaineers now lead 10-5-1 in the two-year series and have won six of eight games on Sun Valley ice....The Suns wound up the winter with 495 wins in franchise history and will have to wait for next winter to crack 500...
