In a game played Saturday night at Merrimack, the Merrimack Warriors got a
small measure of revenge. Friday night, Merrimack got killed by Providence,
11-4. When Kent State came to town, Merrimack exploded for a 10-2 victory.
Kent knew it was going to be a long night for them. During the introductions,
Tim Evans skated out and fell, taking out Brent Mahoney. The Warrior crowd got
a good laugh out of it.
Merrimack opened the scoring at 3:44 when Brendan Lock was set up out in front
by John Barron and Jim Gibson. Kent goalie Brian Dorfman didn't stand a chance.
Merrimack made it two to nothing when Agostino Casale took a feed from Howie
Rosenblatt and skated in alone. Casale deeked Dorfman and slid it by him for
the goal. It came at 8:19.
Merrimack scored again at the 14:41 mark as Teal Fowler scored. I don't recall
the play, but I know that the assists went to Casale and Doug Greschuck.
Merrimack came out in the second and scored again. On a goal that I don't
think the refs knew who scored it, John Barron was given credit for a goal.
Theassists went to Greschuck and Alex Weinrich. It came at 7:00 of the second.
Kent State got on the booard at 9:25 as Neal Purdon poked in a loose puck after
a scramble in the Warrior end. The assists went to Roger Mischke and Jason
Neal.
Merrimack then got a goal on a 5-3 advantage. Greschuck scored on a blast from
the point. The assists went to Locke and Dan Hodge (Yes, former Bruin Ken
Hodge's son). It came at 12:29 while Matt Brait and Brian Mulcahy were in the
box.
Merrimack made it 6-1 on a goal by Casale. I don't recall the play again.
Assists went to Hodge and Rosenblatt at the 17:50 mark.
Merrimack scored to make it 7-1 with 1:01 left in the period. Jeff Massey
got the rebound of a Dan Gravelle shot and banged it home.
Merrimack came out in the third and made it 8-1 on a goal by Rob Atkinson. The
assist went to Bryan Miller at 3:27. Atkinson picked up the loose puck in
front of the net and banged it home.
Kent closed it to 8-2 when Kevin McPherson beat Yannick Gosselin. The assist
went to Bob Krosky at the 4:17 mark.
Merrimack made it 9-2 on a goal by Cooper Naylor. The assist went to Claude
Maillet at the 10:15 mark.
Merrimack closed the scoring with 1:10 left. Dan Hodge poked home a rebound
of a Rob Atkinson shot.
Merrimack played well, but I was surprised. I thought Kent played better than
they did last year when they visited Merrimack. I think Merrimack has improved
that much more though than the Golden Flashes. Kent gave Lowell a game the
night before, but lost 3-2.

Merrimack plays Lowell Wednesday night at the Volpe Complex. Lowell last night
held on for a four-three win of the Huskies of Northeastern.
Agostino Casale has 6 goals and an assist in the last two games. It's good to
see him starting to break out a bit.
