Williamsport Outlaws News Release
WILLIAMSPORT, PA - The fans of Williamsport didn't have to wait long to see the what Kevin Cooper can bring to the Outlaws when he posted two points, including the first goal of the night in the Outlaws 3-0 win over the 1000 Island Privateers Tuesday night.
After a scoreless first period, Cooper was able to find the twine behind Privateers goaltender Matt Anthony for his first goal as a Williamsport Outlaw. The goal came at the 16:57 mark of the 2nd period on the power play. The assists were credited to Nathan Oke and Jeff Winchester.
The Outlaws would enjoy a 1-0 lead entering the second intermission behind solid defensive play and stout goaltending by Chris Whitley between the pipes.

Jamie Zaleski would tally his 5th goal of the season later in the third period from Martin Moucha and Mike MacIntyre at the 12:50 mark. The assist extend Moucha's point streak to four games.
