The Penn State Icers wrapped up the first perfect regular season in team history as they defeated the Buffalo State Bengals 9-5 in Buffalo Saturday night. Eight different players score for Penn State, who opened the scoring about 5 minutes into the first on the power play. Buffalo State would score about 4 minutes later, but the Icers would score twice more in the period to make it 3-1, but the the Bengals' Rick Veiders scored his second of the game to make it 3-2 after one. Buff State would score just 15 seconds into the second on the power play to tie it up, but then the Icers score three unanswered goals by Larry O'Brne, Mark Cervellero, and Rob Keegan, and it looked like Penn State was on its way to another rout. The Bengals' would not lay down and die, however, and scored with under four minutes left in the second to make it 6-4. But Steve Karl would score just 10 seconds later, and Penn State was up 7-4 after two. Still Buff State wouldn't give up, as Brad Allecia scored for the Bengals early in the third, but that's as close as the Bengals would get, as Mark Cervellero and Brad Russell closed out the scoring for the Icers, as they went on to win 9-5. John Gray picked up the win for the Icers, who are now 28-0-0. Buffalo State, who was undefeated at home and #1 in ACHA Division II, falls to 19-5-0 (I think). The Icers return home to the Penn State Ice Pavilion this weekend for the Atlantic Collegiate Hockey League Tournament. On Friday, #2 Rhode Island will face #3 Delaware at 5 PM, followed by #1 Penn State against #4 Maryland at 8:30. The Championship game is on Saturday at 3:30 PM. Earlier this season, the Icers clobbered the Maryland Terrapins 15-1 and 12-4. ***************************************************************************** * * * Jeremy Hall [log in to unmask] Penn State Univ. * * * * CLARKSON GOLDEN KNIGHTS: 1991 ECAC CHAMPIONS * * PENN STATE ICERS: 1992-93 ACHL REGULAR SEASON CHAMPIONS * * * * LET'S GO TECH!!!!
