On March 5, Milton's ECHL mainstay added the club's ail-time goal-scoring benchmark to his resume - eclipsing Cail MacLean's 79 tallies with two deposits in a 4-3 shoot-out loss 10 Reading. Three nights later he notched number 81, his l7th this seaaon, to help shade Wheeing 3-2. This recent milestone follows another Scott Bertoli record-setting mark set last month when Bertoli put together an 18-gamne point-scoring streak to beat his old individual and teamn standard of 15, established during his mookie campasgn in 1999-2000. Needless to say. the 25-year-old left winger has been mighty productive since his January 3 return from a tom uinar igament injury, sustained about a monlh into the season. A big reason why Trenton is now firmly entrenched in the playoff picture after a rather lackiustrc opening haif, Bertoli has amassed 12 goals and 28assists since com- ing hack - for season totals of 17 and 37 respectively - and over an cspecially pros- perous stretch had points in 22 of 23 games. He was named Trenton's Player of the Wcek for the March 3 to 9 period - col- lecfing three goals and four assists during Tuesday he had a pair of assists to help his Titans tritn Richmond 4-3 in overtime and improve 10 34-20- 9, pushing themn into a lie for second place in their divi- sion. Trenton looks 10 maintain its winning ways tomor- row night versus red-hot Johnstown. vMidget selects brin g home gold The Milton mnidget selecîs need- cd a couple of periods to shift out of neutral at last weekend's single- A Ayhner Tournament. But once they did, there was no stopping their drive to the champi- onship. Fortifying their efforts following a slow start and subsequent 1 -1Ilic with London last Friday night, the Winterhawks engincered thre consecutive wins 10 clinch the tille. The midget selects - a teani put together just two-and-a-half months ago - gave up just one goal per game and ccmented their unheaten run with a 3-1 decision over Paris Sunday cvening. Milton put their fellow finalists away with two deposits in the asat six minutes of play, 'Me eventual champs spent most of the third period shorthandcd, but hcld opposing snipers at bay with exceptional defense and sharp goaltending from Eric Borilis. "Eric was incredible," said hcad coach Dennis Christo. "We were shorthanded pretsy much the whole third period, but we kept it togeth- er and played smart." Brent Timbers and Sam Tomlinson sank Paris with third- period markers, while champi- onship-game first star Jef Webber notched the initial taly. Stephen Kays offcred a spirited performance and carned third-star honours. Delivered in the clutch Milton's gold-medal victory fol- lowed a do-or-dic triumph over Fergus Sunday moming. Ncediig 10 win ail three periods as wcll as the game 10 advancc. the Winterhawks thumped Fergus 6-1. Kays delivercd a haî-trick, while also standing ouI with a pair of goals and two assisîs was Tomlinson. Nick Vipond aided in the con- vincing win wilh a couple of helpers. while Timbers was the other marksman. Corey Clarkson was rock-solid bctwecn thc pipes. He and Bortlis were equally effective through the - first two rounds - with the stalemate against London followed by a 4-1 victory dver Tillsonburg Saturday moming. The tandem parlncrs split the work and gave near-flawless per- formances to leave the door open for thc eventual tille triumph. Mats Frecleton scorcd the lone goal in the opening-round draw, while Tomlinson tallied twice against Tillsonburg. Chipping in with singles wcre Nick Folco and John Lahella. Vipond, Falco, Timbcrs, Kyle Scott and Chris Hill combined for some suffocating defcnsc through- out the toumnament.
