On-ice reunion oifffor now By STEVE LOBLANC Special to The Champion Part-timne status witb Brown University this season swDu Janjevich miss bath chances ta square off with fellow Merchant alumnus Scott Bertoli and the Princeton Tigers. Unfortunrately this trend continued through quarterfinal playofi action last weekend, when the lvy League rivais tought tar an Eastern Callegiate Athietic Canlerence (ECAC) Tournament berth. Janjevich was in and out of the lineup through the early stages of' the regular season- due ta his roakie status and a restrictive pecking order in the NCAA. Falling ta a mid-seasan injury, around the same ime Brawn's fortunes sharply improved. the 19-year-ald Winger was placed on tbe permanent reserve list dawn the stretch. z Despite home ice advantage for the entire best-at-three week- Scott Bertoli end series, the Janjevich-less Bears fell ta Princeton twa games to one. Surprisingly enough, higb-tlying Bertoli, a 20-year-old junior, was largely invisible through the first two cantests. His 'orange fine' - arguably the best tria in the ECAC - was Msb htaiw k R a c c ,t' unproductive in Friday's 3-2 victory. From there, Bertali spent much of Saturday in the sin bin, where he watcbed is Tigers take a 6-0 pasting. "it seemed like he was in there the whole game. I guess he just wanted to get his name called out somehow," quipped mother Sue, wbo along with husband Bert and Lynn and Jim JanjevichF made the trip south ta Rhode Island. Brown tound out the bard way that you can't shut out the orange' power surge for very long. Back on their game for Sunday's rubber match, the trio figured in every anc of Prineeton's five goals in a 5-3 clineher. Bertoli's own contribution ineluded a goal and tbree assists. Janjevich's rookie season struggles mirror those of Bertoli, whoA D two years ago saw litle ice ime and even less recognition for is efforts. Since last season however, Bertoli's been a mainstay on the team's irai two lunes. With Janjevich already being part of the Milton Merchants ta Ivy League trend, local hockey fans can only hope he jumps on another tradition that takes Milton's frustrated freshmen and cre- aies star sophomores. Until then, Bertoli wiIl carry the local banner ia the ECAC Toumnament. His Tigers took on Corneli in a must-win situation last night.
