Fargo wins without Leivermann, Leitner

Corey Leivermann was out with injuries, and Matt Leitner was out with a suspension. But it was another Minnesota State recruit who led the Fargo Force over the Omaha Lancers in the USHL playoffs on Wednesday night. Force captain Chase Grant had a hat trick to lead the Force to the 4-3 victory, giving them a 2-1 lead in the best-of-five-games series.
