Agozzino's Two Goals, Hebig's Record Lift Roadrunners Past Reign

One point. That's all that separates Tucson from the San Diego Gulls and the Pacific Division's final playoff berth after Sunday's 4-2 win over the Ontario Reign at Tucson Arena, and the Roadrunners earned it the hard way.

Andrew Agozzino scored his 17th and 18th goals of the season in the third period to break a contested game open. Ontario's Jakub Dvořák and Kenny Connors had given the Reign enough offensive footing to stay dangerous through two periods, but Tucson's 40-24 shot advantage and a converted power play made clear who was controlling the terms. Agozzino finished it, turning the relentless third-period pressure the Roadrunners had sustained all night into a lead they would not relinquish.

Cameron Hebig recorded a goal that tied a Tucson franchise points record. That milestone is more than a personal marker; it reflects the organizational spine that keeps a team competitive through a grinding regular season. Hebig's consistency is exactly the kind of contribution that shows up in the standings long before it gets celebrated at center ice.

The most significant debut belonged to Michael Hrabal, added on a professional tryout after signing an entry-level deal with the Utah Mammoth. Hrabal was steady through Ontario's push, giving Tucson the platform to rally and control the final period. Young goaltenders who hold their ground in AHL debuts under playoff-race pressure don't stay footnotes for long, and the Mammoth will be watching closely as his PTO evolves into something more.

Now the math gets severe: seven road games, one point behind San Diego, no margin to blink. Sunday's result means Tucson is still in the conversation. Whether that conversation ends in a playoff berth depends entirely on what happens away from home.
