The Hawks now have a 13-7-2-1 record for 29 points, six back of Lucan which leads the confer- ence and is tied for first overall with 35 points. Friday night, the Hawks had a territorial edge in play in the first period, but were unable put to any- thing past Stars goalie Brad Vanmassenhoven leaving it scoreless after one period. Exeter goalie Justin Hayter kept it scoreless in the second, stopping a two on one that seemed to give the Hawks a lift. They quickly took advan- tage, with Josh Liddle beating Vanmassenhoven for a 1-0 lead, assisted by Joe Nesbitt. But the Stars replied minutes later as Matt Bork's shot squeezed past Hayter and they took the lead before the period was over as Bryan Oosterhuis deflected a point shot over Hayter for a power play marker. The Hawks took the game to the Stars in the third but couldn't put any more past Vanmassenhoven, despite several chances. Exeter outshot the Stars 41-26 and bounced four more off goal posts. The Hawks went zero for four on the power play and gave up one power play goal on six North Middlesex power plays. Exeter coach Derek Macnair said although they played only 20 min- utes and didn't deserve to win, the Hawks had their chances in the third.

The Hawks got goals from Justin LaPorte, Nesbitt, Liddle and Tony Regier. Tied 4-4 going into the third, the Hawks took a 6- 4 lead on goals from Chad deman and Jason Stuckless but the lead wouldn't hold up. The Lakers tied it with three seconds left to force an overtime.

Jeff Smale and Paul Denomme each had a pair of assists, with singles from Scott Davies, Deman, Regier, LaPorte, Liddle and Jamie Wolfe. Macnair said the team had a better effort against the Lakers, although he wasn't happy the Hawks gave up a pair of two -goal leads. "When you score a goal to go up by one or two goals, the next shift is important and you have to keep the pressure on."
