After undisciplined play by Geneseo helped stake Lebanon Valley to a 2-1 lead in the opening five minutes of play, the Ice Knights scored eight unanswered goals en route to a 9-2 victory over the Flying Dutchmen on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Geneseo set a physical tone from the opening faceoff, putting Lebanon Valley on its heals. Geneseo took advantage just 1:06 into the first period. Dutchmen goaltender Sonny Holding stopped Chris Kestell’s initial shot from the slot, but Mitch Stephens slid the rebound into an open goal to give the Knights a 1-0 lead.<\/p>\n
Geneseo found themselves in penalty trouble early, surrendering two five-on-three power-play goal to Lebanon Valley in less than a minute. <\/p>\n
The first Lebanon Valley goal came at 3:30 when Alex Beatrice slid the puck into the left side of the net from the near hashmark through a screen.<\/p>\n
Off the ensuing faceoff, Kestel was goaded into a tripping penalty to put Geneseo down two men again. This time it was Brendon Herr who slapped home a rebound at 4:16 and give Lebanon Valley a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n
Geneseo got a power play goal of its own midway through the period to tie the game at 2-2. Matt English received a pass from Stephens and one-timed a blast past Holding to score the goal at 10:57.<\/p>\n
Special teams again came into play again late in the period. Jack Bullard scored for Geneseo at 15:46 while each team was skating a man short to give the Knights a 3-2 lead at the first intermission.<\/p>\n
After being whistled for 22 penalty minutes in the first period, Geneseo committed only one infraction in the second and began to control play. The Knights’ Brett Bestwick buried a one-time pass 23 seconds into the second period having just left the penalty box to give Geneseo a 4-2 lead.<\/p>\n
Geneseo expanded its lead to 5-2 when Dan Schofield scored at 5:47.<\/p>\n
The Ice Knights chipped in two more goals in the final minute of the second period, both on the power play, to take a commanding 7-2 lead. Schofield scored again off a nice tic-tac-toe passing play at 19:33. Tyson Terry followed at 19:57 with a wrap-around goal to conclude the period.<\/p>\n
Geneseo’s offensive barrage continued into the third period. Stephens made a spectacular play to keep the puck in the Lebanon Valley zone at the left point, and then found Kris Heeres on the far side of the net for a goal at 4:19. English then tallied his second power-play goal of the game at 5:01 off a blast from the top of the slot to complete the night’s scoring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
