Well Ladies and Gentlemen, it was a hard fought game on both sides of the ice, but it was an overtime goal from Junior Assistant Captain Dante Caravaggio with 3:37 remaining in overtime that sealed the deal for the Trojans, as USC has taken back the Crosstown Cup from ucla. USC was victorious 4-3 in the game, with goals from Caravaggio, Landsinger, Gawlik, and Comisar.
The 3rd period was a messy period for both teams, with USC squandering some great opportunities in their own zone and ucla squandering an extended 5-3. The Trojans started off strong in the period with a goal by Senior Captain Mike Gawlik, whose weak slapshot slid through a very crucial screen and past Bruins netminding Al Ricciardelli. The Bruins struck back though, after squandering a 5-3 they got another chance with a bad penalty by Freshman Peter Rugo. Michael Carder fired a one-timer past Freshman Alex Caravaggio, tying up the score 3-3. Yet, with 28 seconds left, USC got a powerplay, but only took 2 shots as the period ended. But in overtime, USC began to find their shooting touch, and after a couple of great saves, Caravaggio sniped one through a screen to take the Crosstown Cup back.
USC played an up and down game overall, with every line having their good moments and their weak moments. The first line of Freshman James Huebner, Sophomore Beau Selisker, and Senior Charlie Mach really need to get themselves to a place where they can take a lot more shots and have a much larger impact offensively.
My first star of the game is Junior Assistant Captain Dante Caravaggio, who in his second game back showed everybody why he is the Trojans star defender. Play after play he put himself in a position to succeed and followed through with every play. He is the spark the Trojans needed after the first semester to really power them going into the post-season.
I'll be back tomorrow night for Game 4 at 7:15 in Anaheim!
