PENN on fire heading into playoffs
| One more weekend left in the season
and the Quakers could not be in a better position heading into the playoffs.
One week after clinching their first ever MACHA regular season championship,
PENN headed up to West Orange, NJ to finish off the season. Things
got off to a bit of a slow start with Seton Hall striking first, scoring
4 minutes into the the first period. But the confident Quakers would
not flinch and went on a scoring streak of their own. Junior Mike
Sand tied the game 6 minutes later. Two shifts later, junior Todd
Leri would spark a scoring streak. Leri scored two goals in 20 seconds,
giving PENN a 3-1 lead with 5 minutes to go in the period. Freshman
Jeff Goldberg added another 3 minutes later At the end of the first
period the Quakers led 4-1. The dominance continued into the second
period, junior Jeff Bagnoli scored 3 minutes into the period, followed
by Andy Domont, Micah Cohen, and a second from Mike Sand. Suddenly
an 8-1 lead had emerged. Seton Hall would get a goal with 5 minutes
left in the period to make it 8-2, but senior Whit Matthews extended the
cushion, scoring on the power play with 30 seconds remaining in the period.
In the third period Matthews and Cohen would each notch another giving
PENN a dominating 11-2 lead. The scoring was capped off by senior
Frank Baston's first goal of the season on a shot from the right side of
the net. When all was said and done, freshman Adam Kweskin had turned
in a solid 23 save performance and the scored board read 12-3.
PENN looks to capture its first ever MACHA Playoff Championship this weekend. The first seeded Quakers will play this coming Saturday at Ice Works in Aston, PA (near Philadelphia Intl. Airport). PENN will face either #4 Millersville or #5 Princeton (they play Friday) on Saturday at 8:15. If the Quakers win they will play for the Championship on Sunday at 5:00 pm. Hopefully we will see you all there! |
