Sunday night at the Rec Centre, the Mohawks fell behind 2-0 after one period, and couldn't come back. They eventually lost 5-2. Last Wednesday night, the Mo- hawks travelled to Chatham to play the new and improved Maroons with only 10 skaters. Although out - shooting them 42-28 in the game, the Mohawks came away with a 10-4 loss, their second -straight set- back, which was upped to three Sunday. The Mohawks outshot the Ma- roons in both contests but had a tough time beating new Chatham netminder Jim Tapak. "They were just better than we were. Their goalie stood on his head to beat us but they were just better," said Mohawks' coach Dave Revington, who was at a loss trying to pinpoint the exact reason for the team's sudden downfall. "It's not just one guy making mis- takes, it's everyone. I don't think it is fair to point fingers at just one guy. We might have had it too easy for too long. We just have to start putting in an application of things we worked on practice," said Rev- ington after Sunday's defeat. The Mohawks were behind 3-0 before finally getting on the board in'the second period Sunday. Al Gates netted a power -play marker from Les Arts at 4:31 of the second and Joe Scherer picked u the second Exeter goal, from Jeff Warren and Jack Thornton later in the second making the score 3-2. It stayed that way until 16:07 of the third when Chatham connected for a power -play tally and added another at 18:35 to make it a 5-2 fi- nal. Despite outshooting the Maroons, the Mohawks took too many penal- ties at crucial times when they were trying to mount a comeback. Chatham 10 Exeter 4 The Maroons came into last Wednesday's game with a new coach, general manager, goaltender and one new player since the previ- ous time the Mohawks faced Chat- ham. The Maroons played well and built a 3-0 lead after the opening period and helds a 6-3 advantage after the second. They also pumped in four markers in the final period while holding the Mohawks to just one in the last 20 minutes. The Mohawks had Randy Bailey back in the lineup after he missed seven games because of a suspen- sion and Jeff Carr also played de- spite suffering an eye injury in Dunnville last Thursday night. The Mohawks were down 5-0 in this game before finally getting on the board with just less than five minutes to play in the second peri- od. They scored three straight goals to cut the lead to 5-3 before Chat- ham got one to close out the period. Scoring in the second period for the Mohawks were; Bailey from Gord Brooks and Jeff Shipley, Shipley from Jeff Warren and Quincy Wilker from Gates and Warren. Dave Randerson struck from Wilker just nine second into the third to cut the lead to 6-4, but the Maroons scored thefinal four goals Gloves down - Exeter Hawk's second period Friday evening. • s.,r Scott Taylor gets into a rough spot with Mitchell's Shayne Adair in the Neither made it back into the game to see Exeter go down 5-1. • Cliristinas Trivia ( According to a recent.survey, 85% •. polled chose travel as number .t one on their Christmas list.
