After starting the season 13-0-0 at home, the
Wallaceburg Lakers have dropped two in a row, this
time falling 2-1 to Essex. Both of the Lakers home
losses have come to teams in the South Division.
Essex
opened the scoring early in the first period, as
Brian Hamlin scored a powerplay goal to give the
73's a 1-0 lead. The shots were close, 11-10 in
favor of Essex.
To start
the second period, Essex would open up their lead as
Adam Dunmore scored just fifty seconds into the
period to put Essex up 2-0. Again this would be the
only scoring of the period, as the Lakers were not
able to cut into the lead.
Finally in
the third, Wallaceburg would get on the board, as
Tyson Isaac scored 1:55 into the first, giving the
Lakers plenty of time to tie the game. But Chad
Summerfield stood strong, stopping the remaining
shots he faced for the victory, as the Lakers
outshot Essex 15-5 in the final period.
Summerfield made a total of 34 saves on 35 shots,
while Matt Berglund stooped 28 of 30.
This would
be the final game of 2010 for Wallaceburg, as they
will next take on Dresden on January 5th.
