Trinity last Saturday night - tough game against a very good team that will probably have a home
game in the playoffs - we lost 3-0 -the scoring was unusual in that all Trinity goals were on the PP
one in each period, they all count the same - they came at 14:06 of the first, 9:13 of the second
and 17:37 of the third period so we were in fact not out of it until the late third goal - we took
too many penalties, 13, though some were very questionable but that is what you get on the road
sometimes
On to Wesleyan Sunday afternoon - a good game with the teams pretty by well even - Wesleyan scored
the only goal of the first at 8:38 a 1-0 lead that held up until 9:22 of the second period when we
scored a PP goal, Derosa from Wilson and Clark, to tie it up - a little later we went on another PP
only to have Wesleyan get a shorthanded goal at 14:23 but we came right back, still on the PP to tie
it up again at 14:54 Resor from Wilson and Cooper - it remained this way for the remainder of the
period but not long into the third when Wesleyan went up again 3-2 at 1:05 - for remainder of the
game we play very well but could not score, finally pulling Barchard for them last 15 seconds to
no avail - a tough loss in this playoff race, which we are not out of - however we have to win at
least 2 of the last four games to grab the final playoff spot
