Novi Inline wins 2, loses 1 over the
past weekend
April 28, 2008
The Novi Varsity Inline Hockey team finished this past
weekend winning 2 of 3 games and battling for top spot in the
standings with a 5-2 record.
On Thursday the 'Cats had a dominating performance, toppling Walled
Lake Central 11-3. The top scorer was Senior Captain Adam Szajner
with 5 points.
In Friday's contest against Howell, Novi continued the winning
streak with a convincing 8-4 victory. Top performers were Senior
Captain Andrew Haggerty and Juniors Jared Beers, Shane McCusker and
Zach Trotman - all with 3 points each.
The final game of the weekend saw Novi facing off a fast and
talented Walled Lake Western club. Novi fought hard and came from
behind twice to even the score, making it a 2-2 game in the middle
of the 3rd period. WLW was able to convert on a power play shortly
after the tying goal with less than 4 minutes to play.
The Cats were again penalized and forced to pull senior goaltender
Vince Vitale, only to have the Warriors score two empty-netters and
cap their night with a 5-2 victory over the Cats.
"Our boys competed hard and had several opportunities to win this
game. The fact we are able to play at high level with very little
inline experience says a lot about our skill level and our desire to
be the best," said Coach Smith following the game.
