The Citizen, 1994-12-21, Page 34PAGf£ 34. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21,1994. Not by me! A Brussels Bulls defenseman tangles with one of the Wiarton Wolves in front of the home team's net as the second period saw things heat up in the Brussels end after a 2-0 shutout of the visitors in the first. Brussels kept their edge, however, and skated away with a 4-2 victory. Bulls aim for second place Two goals by Nate Bender was the difference as the Brussels Bulls squeaked out a 4-2 victory Sunday against the Wiarton Wolves in the teams' only game of the weekend. Bender also helped to set up a goal by defenceman Jim Beyer. Pete Mulder chipped in with a goal and an assist, and Peter Ryter played a strong game racking up three assists. The win gives the Bulls an impressive record of 9-5-5, good for 23 points and fourth place in the Western Junior C standings. The race for second, however, is still wide open with four teams in the hunt. The Hanover Barons cur­ rently hold down that position with 26 points, but have played one more game than the Bulls. Walkerton is jus't a point ahead of Brussels, but again the Bulls have played five fewer games. The Wingham Ironmen have slipped to Crusaders improve record, 7-5 The Brussels Crusaders improved to seven wins - five losses - two ties and moved into sixth place after weekend WOAA Senior hockey action. Friday night in Southampton the Crusaders scored six unanswered third period goals for a 7-7 tie with Lakeshore. Brent Vandenakker scored twice, with Greg Murray, Corey McKee, Tom McDonald, Dean Wheeler, and Tim Fritz scoring singles. Three of the goals were scored in 15 seconds while Vandenakker's tying goal came with two minutes remaining. After rallying to tie, the Crusaders managed to kill off the Lakeshore powerplay for the final 1:48 of regulation lime. Derek Cooper slopped 23 shots for lhe tie after replacing Pat Blyth Tykes lose 16-2 to Clinton The Blyih Tykes faced a tough Clinton team on Dec. 17, and were defeated 16-2. Darccy Cook made many great saves, however the onslaught was endless, especially from Clinton's Brett Blake. Brett Bean and Luke Anderson scored for Blyth. fifth after losing to Mt. Forest and tying Walkerton on the weekend. Coach Scott Pettigrew did not think the score should have been that close, "We were too casual around the net and missed too many easy goals," he said, adding the Bulls' special teams continue to impress. Bulls' rookie Ryan Wright had to leave the game in the second period after being rocked by Wolves' defenceman Dustin Weir. Wright's helmet came off from the force of the check cutting the shifty centreman for seven stitches around the eye. Referee Blake Moggy handed Weir a five minute penalty for boarding. The Bulls' next action is Friday night when the club travels to Kincardine. The expansion Bulldogs have only two wins in 19 games. The Bulldogs return to Cronin late in second period action. Sunday night, Greg Murray, Tom McDonald and Ron Strome all enjoyed a five point game enroute to a 13-1 win over the Clinton Radar.
