Troops Suffer Second Consecutive Loss

Allowing four unanswered goals, the Stormtroopers were handed their second consecutive defeat of the 2007 summer season as they fell to the Knights 4-1 in Wednesday night's OCICS contest. Three of the four goals against were surrendered in the second period, a recurring theme for the Troops.

The lack of Stormtrooper offense for the second consecutive game did not appear to be correlated to a lack of shots, as the Troops peppered Knights goaltender Mike Levin with 30 shots, quite an improvement over the 6 shot performance last week against the Coyotes.

Bob Reitinger ended the Stormtroopers 79:35 scoreless drought early in the third period when he found the puck in a wild scramble in front of the Knights net, poking it in to set the final tally at 4-1. Reitinger, along with linemates Mike Baranich and John Held, provided much of the Stormtrooper attack throughout the evening.

The Stormtroopers return to the ice Thursday, August 2 at 9:15 p.m. to engage the Renegades, also winless through their first two games of the summer season
