Aviators Shot Down by Akwesasne in the 3rd. Period!

FIRST PERIOD was looking good for Brooklyn. First air strike for the A's was by #9RW N.Petriello at the 10:42 mark. He walked in and found the back of the net to make the match 1-0 Brooklyn. He was assisted by #27RW C.Mignone and #8LW S.Koich.

The second bomb run came by #8LW S.Koich right in front of #79G A.Vincent in the Warriors net. #8LW S.Koich was about 30 feet out in front and blasted it in right on target. This was at the 15:15 of the first and that is how the period ended. #9RE N.Petriello and #18C J.Dolgy were credited with assists.

SECOND PERIOD action was started by the Warriors #17C N.Corbeil who found Aviator goal with 9:48 left in the second period. Assists on the play were awarded to #26RW P.Dagenais and #91C S.Deschatelets. This made the match 2-1 in favor of the Brooklyn Aviators.

The Aviators took their third bombing run at the 17:38 mark of the second period. #12C M.Atsoff hit pay dirt with assists from #8LW S.Koich and #27RW C. Mignone to make the score 3-1 Brooklyn. This is how the second period ended.

THIRD PERIOD and the Brooklyn fans were feeling pretty good about the match. To the Aviators surprise the Warriors brought out their anti-aircraft guns and blasted away at Brooklyn. They shot more holes in the A's than a piece of swiss cheese, it wasn't a pretty picture!

First for the Warriors was #10C D.Tessier who had a power play goal at the 10:16 mark, assisted by #26RW P.Dagenais and #91C S.Deschatelets. This made the match 3-2 Brooklyn. 

Next for the warriors it was #26RW P.Dagenais at the 11:50 mark. He was aided by fellow teammates #17C N.Corbeil and #3D C.Trevisani. This score tied the game at 3-3 and Brooklyn fans were shaking their heads, say it isn't so?

The Coue de Gaur came at the 15:57 mark of the third. #8F J.Forget shot the wings off the Aviators with assists from #23D J.St Louis and #27D S.Desormeaux and sent them crashing in flames. The finale score was Akwesasne Warriors 4 and the Brooklyn Aviators 3. Don't know if I have the correct spelling (Coue De Gaur) but I think you will get my drift.

The two teams meet again tomorrow at 7PM up in Akwesasne. Should be another great game.
