The Times Advocate, 2008-11-19, Page 2020 Times -Advocate Wednesday, November 19, 2008 SPORTS I.F.ISURE Exeter Mohawks g round Lucan-Ilderton Jets By Ben Forrest TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF EXETER The Exeter Mohawks were winless in October but hope to be unde- feated in November. So far, so good. The Mohawks faced the Lucan Ilderton Jets in Exeter on Nov. 15, winning 5-2 and posting their second win this month. Exeter jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period, but was shut out in the second frame. The Jets scored one goal in the sec- ond period and added another in the third, but Exeter added two goals of their own before the game was over. Exeter goals were scored by Shaun Clin- ton, JR Davies, Jeremy Jeffrey, Greg Schep- ers and Jeremy Vanbergen. Lucan-Ilderton s goals were scored by Ryan Fletcher and Kyle Smith. Exeter goal- ie Cam Becker made 27 saves in the game. We probably had our best lineup of the year out there, and it seems like things are starting to click, said Mohawks assistant coach Steve Coward. We had four full lines, and the guys were looking to produce with us. It was nice to get a full roster and the right mix of guys as well. Coward noted that not all players can make it out to road games, but that ev- eryone was on board for Saturday s home game. Our first line was really clicking well to- gether, he said. The three of them were playing well and got us lots of points. Coward said he was pleased with the ef- fort of all 20 Exeter players, suggesting the game was an important one. We needed the win, he said. It was a big game, and hopefully we re heading in the right direction. Jets general manager Rob Andrews was less enthused about his team s perfor- mance. We came out flat, he said. Our goal- tending was a little shaky to start with. We didn t seem to catch any breaks off the bat. He gave full credit to Exeter, however, saying They did things right, their goal - tender played very well. They seemed to be able to get the puck out of their own end. Andrews feels his squad outplayed the Mohawks, but struggled to find the net. Though losing isn t pleasant, Andrews said he wasn t frustrated by the game. We want to finish in the top eight teams, he said. That s our goal ... and so far we re meeting that goal. It s tough when you lose, but you only get better by experiencing games like we had the other night.

(Photo/Ben Forrest) He noted the Jets seem to play in spurts and need to put together a full 60 minutes of play. If things aren t going our way and all of a sudden we get behind, we haven t been able to dig out and get back into it, he said. That comes with experience and play- ing more games. You re upset when you lose, but you know what? You can t af- ford to make mistakes against good teams like that or they re going to make you pay, Weekly ringette scores Tween C Ringette Nov 15 - Forest 3 vs. Exeter 5 Goals: Meagan McVeeney (2), Al- exa Sereda (2) Morgan Allen Assists: Morgan Allen and Court- ney VanHaarlem Goaltender: Kyrstin Krainz Lots of great passing and some great shots!
