NOVEMBER 14th & 15th
The
Good, The Bad and The Ugly!
The Good!
(Drexel vs. Stony Brook)
Friday, November 14th
Looking to knock off a second
top 25 team in consecutive weekends, Drexel traveled to
Long Island Sunday to face the Stony Brook Sea Wolves.
The Sea Wolves dominated a scoreless first period, out
skating and out shooting Drexel 17-11. Although Stony
Brook continued to carry play in the second, Drexel
scored first at the 7:58 mark.
Kevin McMahon (Who?) did a “Tommy” imitation by
pinballing a backhander off two Stony Brook bumpers to
give Drexel a 1-0 lead. On the power play,
Kevin Thren (Allatt
and
Lawrie) buried a rebound into an open right net to
give Drexel a 2-0 lead.
Stony Brook came back to tie the game with two quick
goals in the beginning of the third period. Stony Brook
continued to out shoot Drexel, and could not get a shot
past goalie
Dan Pyne. The third period ended with a tie.
In the 5 minute, 4 on 4 overtime, Drexel out shot Stony
Brook 6-4, and appeared to have the game winner.
Armstrong and
Cohen combined for some razzle-dazzle in front of
the net getting the puck past the Stony Brook goalie,
only to have the puck come to a stop on the goal line.
In
the Shoot Out, Stony Brook prevailed, 3-2, with
Lawrie and
Allatt scoring for
Drexel. A grand effort, just short of a victory.
The Bad... (Drexel
vs. Villanova)
Saturday, November 15th
Drexel lost to Villanova 6-4. After going up 2-1 in the first on goals from Bruno Petrillo (Cohen, Buklarewicz) and Adrian Allatt (Lawrie, Cohen) on a power play, and 3-1 in the second with a goal by Tom Buklarewicz (Allatt, Cohen), Drexel collapsed in the third period. Villanova scored 5 times on two power play goals, a deflection, and a bad change to win the game. Lawrie added one more goal for Drexel as Cohen picked up his fourth assist for the night.
The Ugly!
No lifeguard was on duty Saturday as the first two
periods were played in standing water.
