" nA r 20-The Canadian Champion, Fniday, November 14, 2003 IceHawks' mistakes 4laydar's sopihomore sea'son coslyii Gergtnm AJIL oit to Iukewarm start By STEVE LeBLANC The Champion The Georgetown Raiders fmnally assumned control in the battie of north Halton this past spring, and don't appear ready to, hand it back anysime soon. Despite a largely credible performance against the defending conference champs at Gordon Alcott Arena Tuesday night, the Milton IceHawks offered the occasional crack in tenus of defense and discipline. And as they were likely already aware, even a few mniscues usually prove disas- trous against a team as talent-rich and opportunistic as Georgetown. "I think there were somne positive shings we cani build on, bus we also had somne breakdowns that you've got to eliniinate when playing a teamn like this," stressed assistant coach Rob Wilson of the 4-1 loss. "You've got to be mentally strong."? He was no doubt referring to a huge giveaway in the dying moments of first- period play and over-lappmng minor penal- ties early in the second - both of wbich ailowed the hosts to establish one-goal leads. Kain Tisi would keep bis visitors within striking distance for much of the night, until surrendering two more markers in the final 14-and-a-half mninutes. The steady cager tumed back 41 shots overail, nearly twice as many as counterpart Mast Harpwood. Although the IceHawks gave up just one goal wbile shorthanded, a rash of infrac- tions mininized their offensive efforts. Said Wilson, "Penalties caught up wîth us." A couple of horrihly-executed power- pîsys of .their own didn't help matters either. Julian Sarraino's eighth goal of the ses- son knotted tbings up a minute inso period swo, before the powerhouse hosts picked up sseamn on the way to staymng unbeaten at home and strengthening their front-running status in the West. Milton's lone tally was set up by former Raider Ryan Angelow and Wes Clark, while Matthew French and Andrew Bonello provided fundamentally-sound play tbrough the firat haîf to keep things fight. Ryan DelMonte tallied twice for the Raiders, who gos singles froni Frank DeAngelis and John Winstantey. Icellawk notes: Captaln Lee Swallow and Ryan Bemnardi retumed from minor injuries Tuesday. Casey Gilhotm. was also i the lineup, but is being worked back slowly ... Milton will compete as the holi- day Newmarket Showcase, aishough their achedule basn't been made available yet..
