Nailbiting Time

OK -- that was a little too close for comfort! The Icers needed a shootout on Saturday to complete the home-and-home sweep of ESCHL conference foe West Chester.

West Chester nearly pulled off a Saturday shocker, despite being outshot 60-21 through the overtime.

Taylor Cera, in his second game back from the ankle sprain, scored 5:47 into the third to give the Icers a 3-1 lead. But the Golden Rams battled back, scoring three times in under six and a half minutes.

With a minute-ten left in regulation and a faceoff in the West Chester zone, Tim O'Brien won the draw back to Steve Thurston. Steve's wrist shot looked like it changed directions before finding the back of the net.

Domenic Morrone notched the only goal in the shootout, giving the Icers the win and extending their ACHA win streak to 18 games.

The sweep sets up a huge matchup next weekend when the Icers head to Delaware. The Blue Hens took two from Navy over the weekend, and currently sit four points back of Penn State and two behind Rhode Island.


With Rhode Island heading to Navy next weekend, the logjam atop the conference could be even tighter by this time next week. The Icers will have to play much better than they did against West Chester to keep a lock on the top spot.

  1. I use to bite my nails during when am very nervous. I tried in all the ways but I could not get rid of my bad habit of nail biting. Finally I heard about Thoughts Become Reality and their services with the hypnotherapy treatment. Now I got my remedy and have excellent nails grown.
