Strong defense and goaltending gets red another win, 7-3.
This week the tables were turned, as the
red Sons of Liberty team avenged last week's 7-3 loss to the yellow
Minutemen, with a 7-3 win of their own.
"The key was goaltending this week," noted Lloyd Johnson. "Last week we got stuck with Andy Long in net because nobody else wanted to do it. This week we had Ben in net, who's not our first choice, but he got the job done." Goals by Jimmy D., Flanagan, and Dan Ryan had the red team up 3-0 after one. "Are we sure Derek Osbahr isn't coming today, because this is looking bleak," asked Rick Armand after that first period. Second period goals by Jon Morin and Mark Melito had red up 5-0. "Imagine if I had a 5-0 lead last week," commented Andy Long. Eventually the third line got the yellow team on the board when Mike Betten scored late in the 2nd. "Without Joe Surette here hanging at the opposing blue line with me today, I had nobody passing to me," noted Betten. Each team scored a pair in the third for the 7-3 final. Both Sean Steigerwald and Andy Long were held goalless. Check out our great new box score here. |
