The Hawks started the weekend on the wrong note Friday in Mitchell, losing 7-5 in a high -scoring affair to the Mitchell Hawks. Mitchell opened up a 2-0 lead in the first period on a pair of power play goals before Exeter's Jeff Smale scored twice to tie up the game heading into the second peri- od. Mitchell took another lead early in the second before Exeter took a 4-3 lead on two goals by Josh Wood, including a shorthanded marker. Exeter's lead would last into the third period before Mitchell explod- ed for four goals in seven minutes. Wood completed his hat trick at 18:57 of the third, but it wasn't enough as Mitchell won 7-5. Exeter was two for 10 on the power play, while Mitchell was an impressive five for 11. Shots on net were also lopsided in Mitchell's favour, with a 45-22 advantage over Exeter. The Lambeth Lancers handed the Exeter Hawks their second loss of the weekend, defeating Exeter 5-1 in Lambeth Saturday night. It was all Lambeth as they scored five goals, including three short- handed, before Exeter's Smale scored the Hawks' lone goal late in the third. Both teams were zero for four with the man advantage, while the Lancers outshot the Hawks 45- 19. The Hawks wrap up their regular season this week with a game in West Lorne tonight (Wednesday), with their final home date of the regular season Friday at 8:30 p.m., when the North Middlesex Stars visit.
