Lancers. wearing Hawks down The semi-final series is even at two games By Fred Groves T -A staff LAMBETH - Having three key regulars out of the lineup hurt the Exeter Hawks on Sunday as they lost a close 3-2 decision to the host Lambeth Lancers. The loss ties the series at two games each with Game Five sched- uled for tonight (Wednesday) in Lambeth and it's back to Exeter on Friday at 8:30 p.m. If a seventh game is necessary, it will be played Sunday in Lambeth. Missing from Sunday's game were last year's leading scorer Shayne Robinson (pneumonia), Na- than Blight (broken ankle) and Brian Gardner (vacation). Commenting on Robinson's con- dition, Exeter coach Dave Reving- ton said, "it's day-to-day. It looks like Mark Bell broke his ankle. We're getting worn down." Also absent in the fourth game were Mark Glavin (vacation) and Chad Gilfillan (flu). While those .two don't see a lot of ice time Bell's absence could hurt a lot as the roo- kie defenseman has played very well. There was no score in the fust pe- riod on Sunday but very early in the second, Exeter veteran centre Sean McCann scored his seventh of the post -season when he teamed with linemates Chris Kennedy and Jeff Glavin. Lambeth's Kevin Kerr got his fust of two to tie it but a minute lat- er Glavin sent the visitors into the second break up by one as he scored from McCann. Kerr scored with 7:19 left in the game and then Arvin Kim netted the winner five minutes later. The dark and somewhat dirty Trish, Lakers series tied at two Lucan has won in double overtime plus a big 5-2 victory • By Fred Groves T -A staff LUCAN - They call it the second season for a reason - it's very different from the regular season. The Lucan Irish are finding this out very quickly. Sunday afternoon the host Irish lost 5-1 to the visiting Pt Stanley Lakers. Two pre- vious games saw the Irish win a pair of post - season games. It just goes back -and -forth and the result is a very interesting OHA Junior Development League west division semi-final series which, heading into last night's (Tuesday) game in Pt. Stanley was tied two games each. Game Six goes tonight in Lucan at 8:15 and if necessary the seventh game will be played Friday in Pt. Stanley. "They are pretty explosive. We knew they could blow one open. We played good the first two periods," said Lucan coach Scott Bogart. Sunday's game, played in front of a very large Lucan-backed crowd, got out of hand very quickly when Lakers' Mike Camp inter- fered with Lucannetminder Steve Watson and Derek Greenlee' stepped in and the two squared off. Watson had to put up with a lot of abuse in the first period as he was met with a two- handed slash in the stomach by Andy Massa. It was a wild first period which saw coaches from both benches yelling at each other. It was 1-0 after the fust period as the Lakers crowded the front of the net but rookie Dave Jenken tied it up in the second when he picked up the puck at the Irish blueline, went all the way down and put an ice level shot past Lance Chartrand's stick side. But that was the only time the puck would get past Chartrand as the Irish couldn't click. "We stopped skating and we stopped bump - Pt. Stanley's Mike Camp (10) was ready to take on all comers from Lucan follow- ing a fight during Sunday's game. Junior, college players have a very good year STRATHROY - His team may not have made the Western Junior 'B' playoffs but it was still a successful year for Jeff MacLean. The forward turned defenseman was named the Strathroy Rockets 'Rookie -of -the -Year' recently as he had five goals and ended his first junior season with 25 points. The Exeter Minor Hockey Association product was also nominat- ed for the league's top rookie honors. Good season for Fairweather: Shawn Fairweather of Lucan who played this past season with the St. Marys Junior B' Lincolns was tied for fourth in team scoring as he had 12 goals and 34 assists. The promising rookie also collected nine points including three goals in the post -season. Other Lucan connections, Dwayne Price who played for the Junior 'D' Irish had 17 points during the regular season while second -year forward Paul O'Shea was bothered by injuries and managed 29 points. The big surprise is defenseman Corey Smith who just turned 16. Smith, also from Lucan, the rookie had seven goals and 23 points in the regular season and a pair of goals in the playoffs. Smith is rated by the Central Scouting as is former Irish blueliner Dave Mancari who played this year with Orangeville. College hockey: Huron Park native Steve DuBarry capped off a good sophomore season at Col..: to University in New York as he had four goals, three assists and six penalty minutes in the 23 games he appeared in. The past weekend saw the Red Raiders beat Vermont in the best - of -three series and advance to the ECAC finals in Lake Placid. Exeter's Jason Heywood and the Western Ontario Mustangs failed in their bid to win the CIAU championship as they were beaten in the semi-finals. ing them. I think three of their goals were up the middle," said Bogart. Watson was spectacular in the second period and made at least three huge saves when the Lakers were playing with the man advantage. It was 1-1' after 40 minutes before the Pt. Stan- ley flood gates opened up. This series, which will see the winner take on either Lambeth or Exeter, started last Tuesday in Pt. Stanley with a 6-3 win for the hosts. The next day Lucan won at home 5-4 in double overtime and the Irish made it two in a row as they won Friday in Pt. Stanley, 5-2. "They (Lakers) were expecting to put us away in four or five games but they're in a series," said Bogart whose Irish lost all five regular season games to the Lakers. Sunday's game had a couple bf scary moments in it as Lucan's top scorer Greg DePrest was met with a cross -stick to the back of the neck by for- mer Irish defenseman Jamie Hicks. Very late in the game, DePrest and Scott Faulkner collided knee -to -knee at the blueline and both needed help to get off the ice. Bogart said DePrest is okay and was expected to be in the lineup last night. All tied up: After dropping the fust game of the series last Tuesday, the Irish came back at home the next night with a thrilling 5-4 double overtime win. The first game of the best -of -seven series snapped a 13 -game winning streak for the Irish. In their past 17 games, Lucan is 15-2. Like he did in a dramatic game against the Seaforth Centenaires, rookie blueliner Wil Giles scored the winner while Christian Criel, DePrest, Jeremy Jemec and Scou Riddell also connected. Friday night in Pt Stanley, Watson made over 50 saves as it was 2-1 after the first period and 5- 1 after 40 minutes of play. DePrest led the way with a goal and two assists while Milce Robb, Steve Hudson, Steve Matthews and Jemec also scored.

"It allows their defence to be- come more of a factor. They can utilize their size a little better," said Revington. Goaltending has become a key factor in this series, as it is in most playoff games. At one end, Exeter's Dahien Kints is playing very well and in the past three games has only allowed seven goals. "I think everyone can see he's playing well. He was on his back six times, they were all over him," said Revington.

The referee has to clamp down on that," complained Revington. Now best -of -three: With the se- ries tied at two games each, it now boils down to a best -of -three situa- tion. So far the home team has won in the four previous contests, two of the final three are being played in Lambeth. After the Lancers won the open- er, 5-2 the Hawks roared back last Tuesday in Exeter with'a very dom- inating 9-3 win. • Kerinedy led the way with a big four -point game on two goals and a pair of assists. Nathan Burns also clicked twice with singles to Mark Livermore, Steve Farquhar, Ray Cousineau, Glavin and McCann. Robinson had three assists. Revington said the Lancers will be tough to beat and explained, "they weren't in second place for nothing." Friday in Exeter Kints played a strong game allowing just one goal in a 4-1 victory. Scoring for the Hawks were McCann, Jeff Glavin, Livermore and defenseman Trevor Shadbolt with a nice end-to-end rush.
