KEN: THE STORY LINE WAS SIMPLE.
THE NORWICH CADETS HAD NEVER
LOST A PRIMELINK GAME AT HOME.
THE PLATTSBURGH STATE CARDINALS
HAD NEVER CAPTURED THE GREAT
NORTHERN SHOOT OUT HARDWARE
OUTSIDE OF THE CARDINAL NEST.
SO EITHER THE TREND WOULD
CONTINUE, OR WE WOULD HAVE
ANOTHER HISTORIC PRIMELINK
TOURNAMENT.
OF COURSE IF NORWICH DID WIN, IT
WOULD BE THEIR TOURNEY LEADING
9TH ALL-TIME CHAMPIONSHIP WHILE
THE CARDINALS WERE LOOKING TO
STAY PERFECT ON THE SEASON.
1ST PERIOD, KEVIN SALVUCCI
RECEIVES THE PASS, ONE-TIMES IT
INTO THE BACK OF THE NET, AND
THAT WOULD BE JUST THE START OF
THE SCORING.
MINUTES LATER, CONNOR
EVAN-GELISTA FLIPS IT TOWARDS
THE GOAL.
SPENCER FINNEY BLOCKS IT OFF HIS
TEAMMATE'S SKATE AND INTO THE
GOAL.
2-0 CADETS.
BUT FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT
NIGHT, THE CARDINALS WOULD START
THE COMEBACK.
DILLAN FOX CARVES UP THE DEFENSE
LIKE A THANKSGIVING DAY TURKEY,
BEATS THE KEEPER.
CARDS ON THE BOARD.
JUST OVER A MINUTE LATER, SCRUM
IN FRONT OF THE GOAL.
KEVIN EMMERLING PUTS IT IN, TIES
THE GAME UP AND WITH JUST 4
TENTHS OF A SECOND LEFT IN THE
PERIOD.
THAT PUT PLATTSBURGH ON A RUN.
PAT EGAN GETS THE PUCK IN SPACE,
BEATS TY REICHENBACH.
THE LAST OF 5 STRAIGHT GOALS FOR
P-STATE.
BUT IN THE PRIMELINK, NO LEAD IS
SAFE.
CADETS CUT IT TO 5-4 IN THE 3RD.
NICK PACHETTE THEN MAKES IT 5-5
AND WE WOULD GET BONUS HOCKEY.
IN OVERTIME, LUKE BALESTA SLIPS
BUT IS STILL ABLE TO FLICK IT
OVER TO FOX FOR THE GAME-WINNER.
GOOD NIGHT, DRIVE HOME SAFELY.
PLATTSBURGH STATE WEATHERS THE
STORM AND WINS THE 2015
PRIMELINK CHAMPIONSHIP, 6-5.
OUR VERY OWN JACK KORTE WAS AT
KREITZBERG FOR ALL THE DAY 2
ACTION AND JOINS US NOW.
EARLIER
TONIGHT, IT WAS
ABSOLUTELY BONKERS WITH
PLATTSBURGH STATE FANS THAT MAY
BE TRIP AND NORWICH CADETS FANS
TO LEAVE THE ARENA AND
WITNESSING A TOP 10 DIVISION
THREE HOCKEY BATTLE.
NORWICH SCORED THE FIRST TWO
GOALS BEFORE PLATTSBURGH CAME
BACK AND SCORED FIVE UNANSWERED
BEFORE NORWICH ANSWERED WITH
THREE OF THEIR OWN TO TIE IT UP.
WE HEADED INTO OVERTIME BUT
DYLAN FOX PUT THE
NAIL IN THE
COFFIN AND SENT THE CARDINALS
BACK TO THE EMPIRE STATE WITH
THE WIN.
WE HAVE BEEN DOWN BOTH GAMES
THIS WEEKEND AND I THINK
JUST
STAYING POSITIVE HAS BEEN A BIG
PART OF OUR SUCCESS.
THE OTHER A LOT OF GOALS TO
MAKE THE TOURNAMENT AT THE END
OF THE YEAR AND THIS WAS A BIG
GAME FOR THAT REASON.
IT
WAS AN UNBELIEVABLE
COLLEGE HOCKEY GAME.
I GIVE OUR GUYS A LOT OF CREDIT.
WE ARE A YOUNG CLUB AND WE ARE
MISSING A FEW KEY GUYS INTO PLAY
THAT WELL, I WAS PROUD OF OUR
GUYS.
PLATTSBURGH STATE STAYS
UNBEATEN ON THE YEAR WITH THIS
WIN.
IT WILL BE TOO LONG BEFORE THESE
TEAMS MEET AGAIN.
IT WILL BE JUST A LITTLE OVER A
MONTH ON JANUARY 8 RIGHT BACK
HERE AT THE ARENA.
THE CADETS WILL LOOK TO GET A
LITTLE REVENGE ON THE CARDINALS.
KEN:
THIS YEAR'S CONSOLATION
GAME, WAS AN ALL NESCAC MATCH UP
BETWEEN MIDDLEBURY, AND
CONNECTICUT COLLEGE.
UNLIKE MIDD'S GAME WITH
PLATTSBURGH, WHERE THERE WERE A
COMBINED 9 GOALS WERE SCORED, 5
IN THE FIRST PERIOD.
IT WAS THE OPPOSITE VERSE THE
CAMELS.
GOALIES RULED IN THIS ONE.
CONNECTICUT COLLEGE'S TOM CONLIN
WOULD STOP ALL 33 SHOTS THE
PANTHERS THREW ON NET.
THEIR KEEPER, LIAM
MOORFIELD-YEE, WAS NEARLY AS
PERFECT, MAKING SAVES ON 24 OF
25 SHOTS.
IT WAS A SCORELESS GAME UNTIL
LATE IN THE 3RD PERIOD.
JOE BIRMINGHAM BURIES THE FEED
TOP RIGHT CORNER.
IT'S THE ONLY GOAL OF THE GAME.
FROM A SHOOT OUT WITH
PLATTSBURGH TO A DEFENSIVE
BATTLE WITH THE CAMELS, MIDD
COMPETED ALL WEEKEND LONG.
I DIDN'T THINK WE PLAYED
POORLY.
WE JUST HAVE TO LEARN TO ELEVATE
AND TRY TO PLAY AT THE TEMPO
WE
NEED.
THEY KNOW THAT.
WE ARE TRYING TO GET BETTER
EVERY DAY AND THAT'S WHAT WE
WILL DO.
