Game #2 Report – Friday Nov. 3rd:

Stanford started the second period with more drive than ever and scored again at 16:01 on a power play. Both teams continued to run and gun with their speed, and the Huskies finally got up on the board when Paul Margolis took a slap-shot, on a 2-on-1 play, which found the back of the net at 11:15. The goal sparked the Huskies to pick up the pace, and defensively shut down Stanford’s impressive rushes. At 8:03 the Huskies had a power play and Brett Lawrence 1-timed the puck into the upper right hand corner with a slap shot, from a pass from Shaun Lawrence. And the Huskies scored again at 5:31 when Brian Mead found himself on a break away and put the puck passed the goalie in the upper right corner. The second period ended with the Huskies leading 3-2.

The third period turned out to be the charm again for the Huskies as they improve their team offensive and defensive play. Working together they shut down the quick turn-around rushes by Stanford and were able to control the play a bit more. At 14:04 Paul Margolis passed to Adam Senta who streaked down the right side and put the puck past the goalie’s left shoulder. Then at 5:14 Matt Carlson scored again from a pass from Shaun Lawrence. The game ended with the Huskies winning 5-2.
