Upperclassmen Grind Out Home Victory

Saturday, November 1st
In game two in Philadelphia Saturday night, Drexel upperclassmen lead the way as Drexel came back from a two goal deficit to defeat Navy again, this time 6-4. Junior Tom Buklarewicz (Thren) got Drexel on the board with a blast from the right circle over the left shoulder of the Navy net minder.  Navy scored the next two and led 2-1 until Bruno Petrillo (Cohen, Buklarewicz) tied the game in the seventh minute of period two.

The game seesawed.  Navy retook the lead with a late, power play second period goal. More damage was averted as junior Jake Davis, playing without a stick, hounded Navy into perimeter passing while on a 6-4 delayed penalty call just after Navy had scored. Navy controlled the puck for 1:27 without getting off a shot.  A second Navy power play goal was waved off as Navy was called for a crease violation.

At the beginning of the third period, Andrew Lawrie (Zoldy, Armstrong) retied the game while on the power play.  Lawrie scored again, assisted by Zak Blazic, to put Drexel in the lead four minutes later.  Navy retied the game at 12:51.  The game remained tied until 5:05. Tom Buklarewicz, with a Navy defender draped all over him, chipped a bulls eye centering pass from Alex Cohen into the net to record the game winner for Drexel.

Kyle Zoldy’s empty net goal in the final minute sealed the victory and signaled bon voyage as Navy sailed back home towing its second defeat in two nights.
