Wentworth 6, Worcester State 1
Boston, MA --- Sophomore forward Tyler Medeiros
(Somerset, MA) scored a goal and added an assist, while freshman
forward Skylur Jameson (Long Beach, CA) scored
twice as the Wentworth hockey team opened the ECAC Northeast
portion of its schedule with a 6-1 win over Worcester State in a
contest played at Matthews Arena.
James got the Leopards on the board with the only goal of the
first period when he buried a shot from inside the left face-off
circle at 3:29. Junior Jeff Olitch (Calgary,
Alberta) and freshman defenseman Alan Dionne
(North Scituate, RI) added the assists. Wentworth, which held a 9-1
shot advantage at one point in the first period, outshot the
Lancers 15-8 over the first 20:00 of action.
At the 4:51 mark of the second period Medeiros and Dionne set up
freshman forward Forrest Ellis (Pembroke, NH),
whose first career marker, a power-play goal, gave Wentworth a 2-0
lead. Midway through the period, Worcester State cut the lead in
half when junior forward Andy Orsini (Rochester,
NY) scored from classmate Lee Belsile (Chicopee,
MA) and freshman forward John Cahalane (Tewksbury,
MA). That would be as close as the Lancers would get as Jameson
added his second of the contest at 14:44 to give Wentworth a 3-1
lead after two periods.
Sophomore defenseman Jeff Fedyk (Calgary,
Alberta) gave the Leopards a 4-1 lead with a goal at 5:15 of the
third period, followed by freshman forward Luke
Heller’s (Scituate, MA) first collegiate goal at
15:01. With 44 seconds left scored his first of the season.
Freshman Mike Paglino (Grosse Pointe Shores, MI)
assisted on all three third period tallies.
Junior Justin Marriott (St. Clair Shores, MI)
made 25 saves to pick up the win for the Leopards, while junior
Brian Robinson (Groveland, MA) made 41 saves in
defeat. Wentworth held a 47-26 shot advantage for the game.
The win improves Wentworth’s record to 2-1 overall and 1-0
in ECAC Northeast play. Worcester State falls to 1-2 (0-1). The
Leopards are back in action on Thursday night at Western New
England, while the Lancers are at Suffolk on Saturday.
