Well, just like most of the traffic in the Northeast, the University of Toledo's 37-game winning streak came to a screeching halt Saturday at the Penn State Ice Pavilion, as the #1 Icers defeated the #10 Rockets 12-3. Friday night's game was cancelled, as Toledo got stranded in some place called Brookeville, PA. As for Saturday's game, the score was PSU 2, Toledo 1 when the first period was halted with 3:23 remaining. Apparently, a Toledo player had to be carried out on a stretcher (I didn't see this...I came in during the first intermission as the PSU vs. James Madison B'ball game went into OT... Penn State won 75-74, if anyone's curious, but I digress). So, a 23:23 second period was played, with Toledo on a 5-minute 5-on-4 situation, scoring once to tie the game at 2. The Icers then took over, scoring on a 5-on-3 and 5-on-4 to make it 4-2, and they never looked back. It was 6-2 at the end of two, and Toledo could only manage one goal in the third, as Penn State scored six times (including once on a goaltender who was wearing some other team's uniform...) for the 12-3 final. Toledo, who had a perfect season last year (29-0-0) en route to the ACHA Division II championship, had won their first 8 games as a member of Div. I, but now fall to 8-1-0 on the year (still 2-0 in the Mid-West League). The Icers extended their record winning-streak to 14 (14-0-0 overall, 3-0-0 Atlantic League), and tied their longest unbeaten streak. Penn State's next game is on Fri., Jan. 9 at ACHL rival Rhode Island, and then a non-conference game at WPI on the 10th, before returning to the Ice Pavilion for a two-game series with Michigan-Dearborn. Unfortunately, I have no box score at this time (like I said, I missed the first three goals...), but will post it if I can find it. Instead, here's a breakdown of the first half of the season: Overall Record: 14-0-0 Overall GF: 128 Overall GA: 22 (Avg. GF 9.14, Avg. GA 1.57) Most Goals For: 20 (vs. Buffalo 10/30) Most Goals Against: 3 (4 times) Shutouts: 4 Games w/10+ goals: 6 ACHL Record: 3-0-0 Overall GF: 33 Overall GA: 4 (Avg. GF 11.00, Avg.
