Big Victory, Work still to be done!

WOW!

Who would have thought in the first year in ACHA D1 action Oakland University will be in the Championship Game?

Amazing game, Collin Chase was huge in net for the Grizzlies and carried them to victory today.

Goal Scoring Summary:

1st period:

No Scoring


2nd Period:

JP Ferrari from Cooper and Rank in the 1st 1-0 OU

Will Mcmahon from Ingram and Chornoby 2-0 OU

Matt Jennings got Illinois on the board and gave them some much needed life 2-1 .

When all the Drama Started:

Late in the 3rd Illinois pullls DeGeorge for an extra Attacker and scores right away:

Then Heredia from Trulock and Pringle 2-2 TIE This was with 1:19 left in Regulation. Illinois wanting to win in regulation calls a Time out but it backfires and Oakland Will take advantage.

Will McMahon broke in all alone on DeGeorge and made an amazing move and beat him with 59 Seconds left in the Game.

DeGeorge was Pulled Again and Chase and the defense was up to the Task as OU won 3-2

Penn State Up Next

Players To Watch Out For:

Penn State did not have a single 20 Goal Scorer in the Regular Season

Lukas DeLorenzo led the Icers with 19 Goals

Signet had a
1.98 GAA, Matteo a 2.05 GAA. Matteo played in net today for the Icers. Signet was in net for OU when they beat the Icers at OU 4-1 a few weeks ago.

Orbinger is a dangerous player and OU must be ready for him.

Big key Oakland MUST stay out of the Penalty Box It didn't burn them against Illinois but in the future it may.

This is truly what the players live for and this is a moment where everyone needs to play the best game possible to beat Penn State. It will tough. Very Tough.
