(8)HBHA Seniors vs Hawks(2)
Sloppy Hawks give up two Shorty’s
The HBHA Seniors scored shorthanded goals under two minutes apart which took away any sort of life for the Hawks. In order for the Hawks to have any chance to defeat last season’s champs, tonight wasn’t the way to go. The back breaker occurred late in the second period when J.Bolanakis riffled a hard rocket to fool P.Assadi very low. That tally put the HBHA Seniors up 4-2, and it didn’t stop there as they showed no pity to a deflated side. Already with a shorthanded goal, D.Andrade’s night wasn’t down just yet. The centreman added three more markers to finish with half of his teams goals. This is their fourth straight win, and unless someone puts forth a perfect game, the HBHA Seniors won’t be losing much this season or not at all.
(4)Devil Dawgz vs Stones(3)
B.Pereira hat trick pushes Devil Dawgz past Stones
Striker B.Pereira lights it up with another three goal performance for the Devil Dawgz. His winner came at the eleven minute mark of the second period giving his club a 4-2 lead with plenty of time left over. In attempts to battle back, the Stones only pulled within one with 90 seconds remaining, proving to be a little too late. Just like the Devil Dawgz, the Stones saw their go to guy bury much of the burden. T.Settino posted all three goals in the loss as the offensive struggles continue for the 0-4 Stones. Out of their twelve goals scored this season, T.Settino has eight of them. If the Stones can find a way to clone their ringer than things would surely turn around. But with biology progressing, the time still isn’t there for a duplicate. The Stones will need to look in other areas to find some help up front.
The SalumiVino player of the night goes to Brian Pereira of the Devil Dawgz. In a close 4-3 battle vs the Stones, the sniper provided three out of the four goals.
