TOPEKA — With the lower bowl mostly sold out, Topeka was ready for playoff hockey in Kansas's capital city. But the visitors stole the show inside the Stormont Vail Events Center on Wednesday, April 15.

No. 1 Binghamton defeated the No. 4 Scarecrows 4-3 in game one of the FPHL playoffs' first round matchup. The Black Bears jumped ahead 4-0 before a furious comeback fell short for Topeka.

“I’m really proud of the way that the guys battled back, a little too late to battle back, but the guys didn’t quit,” Scarecrows head coach Robbie Nichols said. “To hold the top team to 4-3, it’s still a loss, but I’m still proud of the way they played.”
