Goalie Tim Jones recorded his first shutout of the W11 season as the Designated Drinkers defeated the league-leading Yager Bombers 7-0 on Sunday evening at the MSA. While the Bombers skated a short bench, Team Teal executed a complete team-effort in which they dominated TOP, outshot their opponent more than 2-1, controlled face-offs, greatly reduced their opponents' quality scoring chances, and got phenomenal goaltending, once again, from Tim Jones.
Teal forward Bill Streed primed the Drinkers' scoring pump when he backhanded a rebound over sprawling Bomber goalie Jason Getz at 13:27 in the first. Matt Cassi beat Getz at 3:52 with a pretty bang-bang play from Andy Beck. Blueliner Dalton Ford scored on a wrister from the point that pinballed through a screen and found its way through Getz' 5-hole at 2:42 to end the first 3-0.
Rob Lovaglio got on the board at 11:33 in the second with a wrister in close that beat Getz high on the stick-side. Bill Streed tallied again at 8:08 with helpers going to Andy Beck and Matt Cassi to end the second 5-0.
The third period got a little chippy as the Bombers started to show some fatigue, but the Drinkers continued their relentless rain of shots. Rob Lovaglio scored a shortie at 11:59 in the third, his twelfth goal of the season. Ron Goldberg capped off the scoring on a breakaway with a pretty, patient backhanded shot that beat Getz with 1:04 remaining in the game. The Drinkers outshot Orange 56-20 in the game.
The Drinkers' quest for the CAHL W11 League Championship continues on Sunday, March 20th at 2PM when they take on the red-hot Black Ice at the MSA.
