titans close out regular season with win at BG

February 11, 2007. The Varsity Titans closed out both the regular season and the conference with a hard fought 3-1 victory at Bowling Green.  It was Senior Day in Bowling Green and BG came out early and tried to intimidate and slow down SJJ with strong physical play.  The Titans responded with some good physical play of their own.

Mark Stansfield got SJJ going in the 2nd period with a real pretty goal picking up a loose puck from the corner and making a couple nice moves to beat both the defenseman and the goalie to make it 1-0.

In the third, the Titans got the power play working with Shane Hetrick scoring off a nice goal mouth feed from Mike Callan.  About 5 minutes later the Titans capped off their scoring with Mark Stansfield’s breakaway goal off a very nice neutral zone pass from Ben Wurst.  BG broke Tyler Marzec’s shutout bid with 40 seconds remaining to make the score 3-1 but BG couldn’t get it any closer.  The victory avenged SJJ’s only conference loss that came at the hands of Bowling Green on opening night.

The victory made the Titan’s final conference record to 8-1-1 and their overall record to 23-7-3.  Congratulations to all on a very nice regular season.  Keep it up; the success should only make you hungrier.
