20-Nov-05
Lehigh 7, Drexel 4 - After their
disappointing loss to Kutztown last week, Drexel C
continued their improved play against Lehigh University. Lehigh kicked
off the scoring in the first, but Drexel?s Mike Jacobson answered with
a quick, low shot to tie the game. Mike then scored two more in the
first to cap off a natural hat trick and end the first 3-1.
Unfortunately, the Dragons? offense fizzled and Lehigh capitalized on
several power
plays, as well as some poor play in the defensive zone to take the lead
3-5. Brad Wright
responded in the third with a goal on a shot from the boards, but
Lehigh struck back to make the game 4-6. An empty netter with just over
a
minute left sealed the deal for Lehigh and Drexel C was handed their
6th regulation loss of the year.
Tier II - Drexel vs. Neumann
20-Nov-05
Neumann 10, Drexel 4 - Drexel
D had a tough schedule to start this
year, playing a very skilled Neumann College team three times in their
first five games. The growing rivalry became clearly evident this
weekend in their third meeting, as tempers flared and Drexel found
themselves shorthanded many times thanks to some bad penalties. Being
shorthanded for
what seemed like the majority of the game, Drexel had little chance to
establish any offense. After a fairly even first
period, the Neumann powerplay capitalized on Drexel's mistakes on
several occasions, leaving
the Dragons down by two goals at the end of the period. Frustrations
continued to mount in the third and Drexel dug itself deeper with more
penalties. The Dragons simply
spent far too much time on the penalty kill and could not sustain
enough pressure in Neumann's end of the rink. Despite a lot of hard work
and two shorthanded goals, the Tier II Drexel squad was handed its fifth loss of the season.
