at Middlebury 6:30 Sat
1st period - a well played period by the Jumbos resulting in a 1-1 game after one - goal by Cleary with assists to Rotondi and Walsh plus some good tending by Crapser
2nd period - we start to stray from the game plan and take three penalties in the first 6 minutes - result, a goal at the end of a 5 on 3 to put them ahead 2-1 - we held on for 5 minutes before the gates opened for 4 more Middlebury goals during the last eight minutes for a 1-6 deficit after two
3rd period - we played pretty well the entire period allowing one goal, having some chances ourselves and generally competing well when it would have easy to have a big letdown
Over all a great atomosphere for us to play in - hopefully next year any postseason trip to Middlebury or any other school will be in the next round of the playoffs
I will have more info on the alumni game Wed or Thu and be sending it to that group only - still have not heard from a few I expect to play
