Waterloo Black Hawks News Release


The Waterloo Black Hawks return to Young Arena with the chance to win the Clark Cup, thanks to a 7-2 road victory against the Indiana Ice on Saturday at Pan Am Arena during Game Four of the USHL's Championship Series.

Despite the big margin of victory, the Ice controlled the first period. A neutral zone turnover created the first goal of the game at 2:14. Joshua Jacobs crossed the Waterloo line and drove a shot off of Cal Petersen into the net. Five minutes later, Blake Winiecki sprang Tyler Sheehy for a breakaway goal. Sheehy's shot cleared the glove of Jason Pawloski at 7:28. However, Indiana reassumed the lead at 9:47, when Mitch Hults converted a power play chance with a wrist shot from the left circle.

Zach Sanford turned the game permanently in Waterloo's favor with a pair of second period goals. Jake Horton's touch pass at the top of the crease left Sanford with an open side for an equalizing goal at 3:10. Then during a power play at 8:25, Liam Pecararo's shot from the right point was redirected into the net by Sanford, standing inches outside the blue paint.

The Hawks eventually broke the game open during the third period. Tim Lappin put the puck into the crease during a goal mouth scramble and it wound up in the net at 6:39. Three minutes later, Brandon Montour received a drop pass in transition and snapped a shot past Pawloski, ending the Indiana starters' night. Pecararo drove a shot past relief netminder Hayden Stewart at 12:07. Then with no one in net for Indiana, Patrick Russell nailed down the decision at 18:17.

Petersen turned away 36 shots during the contest for his tenth career postseason victory. The Hawks were outshot 38-28. Pawloski made 15 stops, leaving six for Stewart.
