The Sacred Heart men's ice hockey team split a weekend series with Holy Cross, coming away with one win and one loss.
The weekend began Friday night, Jan. 25, with a home game victory. Second placed Sacred Heart triumphed 5-1 over seventh place Crusaders.
Junior Eric Giosa opened the game scoring two goals in the first period, one assisted by senior Scott Marchesi and one assisted by sophomore Corey Laurysen. Just 1:35 into the second period, Sacred Heart scored again when freshman Adam DeJong capitalized on a powerplay with the assistance of freshman Reade Wolansky.
Less than five minutes into the second period, sophomore Matt Gordon scored the fourth goal of the game with as assist by sophomore Mike Rosata. Senior, Dale Reinhardt scored for HC with less than eight minutes left on the board, making the game 4-1 going into the start of the third period.
The final period opened with powerplay after powerplay but no goals until the last five minutes of the game. With 4:33 left on the clock, senior and captain Alexandre Parent scored the final goal of the game.
Saturday night saw a different result for the men as they traveled to Worcester. Sacred Heart fell 4-2 in a loss to Holy Cross at the Hart Center . Although Sacred Heart outshot Holy Cross, only sophomore Erik Boisvert and junior Dave Grimson were able to capitalize with goals.
Holy Cross scored three of their four goals on powerplays in a penalty-plagued game for Sacred Heart.
"We had an up and down weekend, playing well Friday but took too many penalties Saturday and it cost us the game. We gave up three powerplay goals. The league is very evenly balanced this year so there are no easy games. We're still in second place with games in hand though," said junior,goaltender Stefan Drew, regarding the win-loss weekend.
"Our weekend series with Holy Cross could have been better. We really needed a win on Saturday night but things didn't turn out our way. Friday night was a great night. The crowd was awesome and they really helped out a lot. We could have used that help Saturday night," said sophomore Matt Gordon, in respect to the fans effect on the game.
