Lakers See StarsPublished on: February 13, 2010
East Lansing, MI — In their last weekend of the regular season before heading into the North Regional playoffs next weekend against #10 Kettering University, the Lakers traveled to Lansing to face off against the Lansing Community College Stars on Friday night. Pete Herman got the nod between the pipes for the Lakers. The night started rough for the Lakers as the Stars struck on the opening shift of the game to give themselves an early 1-0 lead. Just over four minutes later the Stars struck again to extend their lead to 2-0. The Lakers would get their only goal of the evening with just 49 seconds remaining in the period as Tim Marney connected to cut the lead to 2-1. Directly off a face-off win in the Stars’ zone, the puck found its way to the point for Josh Light who fired a pass in front for David Stone as it ricocheted behind the net. The puck bounced back towards the net off the boards before Marney was able to control the loose puck and fire it past the Stars’ netminder. Unfortunately for the Lakers, the Stars capitalized just 15 seconds later to extend their lead to 3-1 heading into the locker rooms. The rest of the game was scoreless, but the physical play intensified as each team delivered numerous big hits. Despite getting of 65 shots in the contest, the Lakers were defeated by a final score of 3-1 and looked to rebound and send the seniors off their home ice with a win before playoffs begin, on Saturday night at the Georgetown Ice Arena at 8:00 PM.
