Steel Victorious On The Road
Bensenville, IL (December 3rd, 2007)
-- The Steel were able to pick up 4 points on the road
this weekend, taking 2 wins home. Friday night The
Steel beat Lincoln 7-5 and Saturday night the Steel took
on Sioux Falls and won 4-1.
Friday night’s game The Steel found themselves killing a
penalty to start the game as they were assessed a
penalty in warm-ups, but this would not discourage
Chicago as they were able to kill that penalty and were
able to get themselves on the board first with a goal
from Brian Dowd (Niagara University) only 3:47 into the
game; Dowd ended the night with 2 goals and 2 assists.
After Lincoln was able to get 2 goals by Steel netminder
Nick Pisellini, Corey Chakeen was able to even the score
at two, and Andrew Miller gave Chicago the lead going
into the locker room.
In the second period, The Steel
found themselves in a seesaw battle with The Stars and
they ended the period in a 5-5 tie. Andy Miele
(Miami-Ohio) and Brian Dowd were able to find the back
of the net in the second period. Eric Alexander was
able to score twice in the 3rd to help lead
the Steel to the 7-5 defeat over Lincoln.
The following players had assists
Friday: Tim Buttery (Michigan State) (2), Aaron Schmit
(1), Mark Anthoine (University of Maine)(1), Brian Dowd
(Niagara University) (1), Max Nicastro (Boston
University)(1), Eric Alexander, and Simon Olsson(4).
Steel goalkeeper Nick Pisellini saved 32 of the 37
shots he faced in a winning effort.
Saturday Night the Steel picked up
where they left off Friday night as Brian Dowd was again
the first to score for his 3rd goal in just 2
games, Eric Alexander and Simon Olsson assisted on Dowds
goal. Scott Kishel of Sioux Falls was able to get one
by Steel Goaltender Rob Madore (University of Vermont)
half way through the first, but that would be all the
offense that Sioux Falls would be able to produce.
The rest of the game, the scoring
was left to Chicago’s Andy Miele, who scored one in the
first and two in the third, for his fourth hat trick of
the season. Max Nicastro assisted on Miele’s first
goal, while Brian O’Neil assisted on his second. Rob
Linsmayer and Tim Buttery assisted on Miele’s third
goal.
Steel goalkeeper Rob Madore saved
23 of the 24 shots he faced in a winning effort.

a 8-8-3 record.
