NASHUA, NH - Kody Peckham '11
(West Gardiner, ME) scored two goals, including the game-winner 19
seconds into overtime, to lift Saint Joseph's (1-2) to an 11-10
victory over Daniel Webster College (0-1) on Saturday afternoon.
Jonathan Horgan '12 (Hingham, MA)
paced the victors with three goals and five assists and goalkeeper
Marco Stefano '12 (Steep Falls,
ME) made 14 saves in net to record his first collegiate
victory.
Peckham's score, set up by a
Tokunbo Amosun (Gardiner, ME)
pass, allowed the second-year Monks to escape with the victory
after the Eagles had rallied with a wild six-goal fourth quarter
including the game-tying score with just 16 seconds remaining in
regulation.
Saint Joseph's built a 6-2 lead at the half thanks to four
unanswered scores including two from Horgan and
one each from Elliott LaMarre
(Raymond, ME) and Dolewa, and went ahead 7-2 early
in the third on Horgan's third of the game.
Abrahamson and Jordan posted back-to-back scores in the third but
an Edwards tally late in the frame gave the Monks an 8-4 edge after
three.
Jordan struck twice in the first 1:18 of the fourth for a two-point
game (8-6). After Amosun made it 9-6, Manning and
Abrahamson followed with unassisted strikes for a 9-8 game with
8:27 left.
After a Peckham unassisted tally made it 10-8 with
7:15 to go, Antonio Polson (Lanesboro, MA) closed it to 10-9 off a
Field feed with 5:49 left, leading to Smith's second of the game
off an Abrahamson feed setting up the fifth period.
Peckham, Paul
Dolewa (Saco, ME), and Blake
Edwards (Glide, OR) added two scores each for the
Monks.
Brian Abrahamson (Dedham, MA) paced the Eagles offense with a game
high seven points, scoring three times and setting up four others.
Mike Jordan (Wakefield, MA) added a hat trick and one assist, while
Andy Smith (Buffalo, NY) notched two scores including the game
tying score, while Ryan Manning (Newport, NH) added one. Tom
Driscoll (South Boston, MA) made 27 stops for the Eagles in his
collegiate debut.
The Eagles return to action Wednesday as they visit Emerson College
at 6:00 p.m. St. Joe's visits Mitchell Thursday at 4:00 p.m.
