The Knights Take On An Improved Akwesasne Team
The Akwesasne Lightning came to town tonight with an improved team and a great effort but the Knights were up for the challenge. Nepean, playing a fast-break style that was very successful, particularly in the first and second periods, provided the crowd with an exciting game.
The Knights owe Andrew Marquis a huge debt of gratitude as his phenomenal play was responsible for keeping them in the game during the first and third periods. Nepean went on a good run in the second period and managed to chase the Akwesasne starting goalie after seven goals.
The captain, Chris Ford, put on several great displays of speed, defence, ball handling and play making. Devon Tough, Brett Lewandowsky and Jordan Joncas all had strong games as well.
Penalties became an issue in second and third as both teams struggled with man down situations. As the Knights found their scoring touch again later in the third period, they netted a few more late goals to cement the victory, 13 - 5.
Scoring for Nepean was:
Chris Ford: 1 G, 3 A
Nevan Sullivan: 1 G, 3 A
Jordan Joncas: 2 G. 1 A
Devon Tough: 2 G, 1 A
Andrew Marquis: 3 A
Brett Lewandowsky: 2 G
Sean Vradenburg: 1 G, 1 A
Jordan Weekmark: 1 G, 1 A
Noam Goldstein: 1 G
Jordan Bush: 1 G
Brett Jackson 1 G
The Knights next game is Sunday May 4th at 2 pm at Merivale Arena vs. Oakville.
