Men's Hockey Advances To ACHA Quarterfinals With 14-2 Win

Mar. 15, 2009- The Lindenwood men's ice hockey team advanced to the ACHA Division I National Championship Quarterfinals with a 14-2 victory over Penn State Berks. The game, which was suspended on Saturday after one period due to a carbon monoxide leak in the building, concluded on Sunday afternoon.

The Lions scored five power play goals and one short handed goal against Penn State Berks. Three of those special situation goals came in the first period as Lindenwood jumped out to a 5-1 lead. Adam Krefski scored twice, including a power play goal, Kyle Bailey had a power play score, Cory Spradling scored on even strength, and Neeco Belanger put one in the net shorthanded.

After the delay, Penn State Berks scored just 10 seconds into the second period. That woke the Lions up as it outscored the Nittany Lions 9-0 the rest of the way. Spradling scored two more times for a hat trick and Belanger and Bailey each collected their second goals of the game. Other goals came from Chad Boeckman, Carson Hamill, Justin McLaughlin, Travis Bokina, and Colin Long. Robi Cavillari picked up the victory in goal.

Lindenwood will next face Liberty in the quarterfinal round on Monday at 5:30 p.m. The Lions split with Liberty in the regular season, losing one game in a shootout and winning the second game 6-1.
