Pyne Shynes in Annapolis
Upperclassmen Grind Out Home Victory

Friday, October 31st
Freshman goalie Dan Pyne’s three, point blank saves in the 16^th and 17^th minutes Friday night scuttled a Navy comeback as the Dragons hung on to win 5-3.  Pyne stopped 38 Navy shots and kept Navy all-star, Matt Swezey, off the scoring sheet. After spotting Navy an early first period goal, Drexel scored four unanswered goals to lead 4-1 at the five minute mark of the second period. 

Kyle Zoldy (Jake Davis, Kevin Thren), opened the scoring for Drexel. Zoldy was followed by goals from Alex Cohen (Tom Buklarewicz, Bruno Petrillo), Adrian Allatt (Andrew Lawrie, Tom Buklarewicz), and Bruno Petrillo (PJ Armstrong, Zak Blazic).  Then Navy erupted. Navy out shot Drexel 16 to 6 in the second period, scoring twice, and taking control of the game.

Only Pyne’s strong play kept Drexel in the lead.  In the third period, Drexel found its legs and slowed Navy’s attack though being out shot 14 to 8.  Cohen’s second goal at 2:42 (Armstrong, Allatt) gave Drexel a two goal cushion and Pyne did the rest as Drexel notched its first points in ESCHL play.
