Week 1 -
01.10.07 Gators vs Cuzzies
Starting off their first game of the season, the Gators
faced off against the Cuzzies. Both teams were missing players,
and it ended up being seven Cuzzies, against twelve of the
Gators. Clearly a talented team, the few Cuzzies present
kept up with the face-paced game all night, and beat the
Gators in the end; 10-5. The Gators started off the slow,
letting up a total of four goals before scoring one of their
own in the second period. Bryan Curtis (21), scored the
first goal, assisted by Dave Salafia (15), and less than
forty seconds later, Steve Randall (10) scored the second.
The Cuzzies came back with four more goals. With less than
two minutes left in the second period, the Gators' Salafia
scored the team's third goal, assisted by Brian Drake (18),
and Brian Pasono (17). Only ten seconds later, Pasono scored
off assists from Salafia and Drake, still leaving the Gators
down 8-4 heading into the third period.
There weren't as many goals scored by either side in the
last period, with the Gators scoring once more before the
end of the game, and the Cuzzies scoring twice. The final
score of the night: 10-5, with the last seconds of the game
resulting in a huge injury to offensive player Dave Salfia.
Salafia was taken to the hospital for stitches over his
left eye immediately after the game. The Gators tried, but
were beaten in the late-night game by a younger bunch of
hockey players, who did not let up. Better luck next game!
