Monarchs Sink Admirals, 4-1
(Manchester Monarchs)
NORFOLK, Va. - Matt Marcinew recorded a career-high four points, and the Manchester Monarchs came from behind to beat the Norfolk Admirals, 4-1, Friday night at Scope Arena.
The Monarchs (5-3-0-1) have now taken the first two meetings of the season against the Admirals (2-7-0-0), and look to sweep the three-game set Saturday night.
The Admirals struck early when Thomas Schutt scored his 1st goal of the season on the first Norfolk shot of the night, just :45 seconds into the game. Schutt charged down the right boards to the dot, where he let a wrister go that beat the blocker of Monarchs goaltender, Evan Cowley, to put Norfolk up, 1-0.
Manchester tied the game on the power play at 17:42 of the second period when Marcinew scored his 3rd goal of the season. Marcinew found the puck on his backhand just outside the blue paint after a scrum in front of Admirals goaltender, Jake Paterson, and chipped home the power-play marker to tie the game, 1-1.
The Monarchs took their first lead of the game when Marcinew struck again at 1:33 of the third period. After a face-off win to the left point, Joel Lowry fired a shot on Paterson that was saved, but Marcinew connected with the bouncing rebound from the low slot for his 2nd goal of the game to put the Monarchs up, 2-1.
Manchester extended the lead when Tony Cameranesi potted his 3rd goal of the season at 12:28 of the final frame. After a turnover in the Admirals zone, Marcinew sent a cross-slot pass to Cameranesi who was all alone just below the right hash for the redirect into Paterson's open cage, to push the Monarchs lead to 3-1.
Kevin Morris put the game on ice when he scored his 3rd goal of the season at 18:52 of the third period. Morris was camped in front of Paterson while the Monarchs were on the power play, and tipped-home a Colton Saucerman slapper from the left point to end the scoring, 4-1.
The Monarchs are back on the ice Saturday, Nov. 4 (7 p.m.), when complete their three-game set with the Admirals at Scope Arena.
