LIONS DROP SECOND CONSECUTIVE OVERTIME GAME IN FIRST HALF OF HOME-AND-HOME AT BROCK

Box Score Owen Guy's overtime winner was the difference maker at Seymour-Hannah Sports and Entertainment Centre Thursday night, as the York University Lions dropped their second overtime decision of the season to the Brock Badgers.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After scoring the game-winner against Toronto in their most recent contest, Owen Guy picked right up where he left off by opening the scoring against the Lions at 13:24 of the opening period.
  • Less than three minutes later, the Lions answered back. They rounded out first period scoring with a goal by Nik Malenica. The former Kindersley Klipper deposited his second goal of the season, and the game was tied 1-1.
  • Justin Brack then had two second period goals for the Badgers, sandwiching Justin Bean's second goal of the season, making the score 3-2 Brock. Brack's second, which came during a Christian Dedonato hooking penalty, was the first shorthanded goal of the season for Brock.
  • York would then promptly skate out for the third and tie the game 3-3, sending the game to extra time on the third goal of the season for Brandon Yeamans.
  • Brock wouldn't waste much time in the extra frame, with Guy scoring his second of the game 21 seconds into overtime. 
NOTABLE NUMBERS
  • York healthily outshot the Badgers in the game's first two periods, earning a 29-20 advantage on the shot clock through 40 minutes of play. However, Brock more than doubled their total in the third and shortened overtime frame to ultimately outshoot York 42-37.
  • Cole Ceci was outstanding between the Lions' pipes, making 38 saves for a .905 save percentage, well above his career average.
  • With his goal in the third, Yeamans enters a tie for the Lions team lead in goals (3). Bean's goal gives him sole possession of first in goals by York defenders.
LOOKING AHEAD
 
These two teams won't have to wait long before re-uniting, as the Badgers travel down the QEW to York University's Keele campus for the rematch with the Lions Saturday night at Canlan Ice Sports. Puck drop is slated for 7:15pm and the game will be available for viewing on OUA.tv.
