In a packed house at Hollydell this past Saturday night, the Profs were attempting a sweep of the
Delaware Blue Hens in their weekend matchup.
After coming off of a win on the road in Delaware, the Profs were ready to go, searching for a sweep.
The Blue Hens were the first on the board with the help of #24 Joe Wogisch just less than two minutes
into the first period.
Rowan answered quick with a goal from #7 Aadan Plank, to tie things up.
Cam Chandler scored two goals in the first game of the weekend in Delaware, and he was ready to score
more.
“I’ve just been starting to get the puck to the net, and starting to shoot more.” Chandler said.
On the power play the Profs were able to take advantage and Chandler would bury his first goal of the
night with just over 6:00 left to play in the first.
Then again, Chandler could not be stopped. Using his speed he was able to fly into Delaware’s zone, and
light the lamp through the five hole of the Blue Hen’s goalie Joe Hooper.
By the start of the second period, Rowan was firmly in control. They drew penalties and slammed Hooper
with shots, but Delaware’s goalie kept the Blue Hens in the game with several key saves.
The Profs found themselves short-handed early in the period, and the Blue Hens had a golden
opportunity to cut the lead to one. However, Rowan’s Jacob Booth came up huge with a remarkable
sliding glove save on a cross-ice pass, preserving the two-goal lead.
Delaware would later on score in the 2nd making it 3-2 Profs, but it seemed like Rowan had an answer for
everything. While short handed Rowan played the puck through center ice. Landing short of the crease,
Blue Hens goalie Joe Hooper misplayed it while JT Zangara was able to regroup and put it in the almost
empty net.
Zangara was playing in his 100th game, and only fitting for him to bury one.
Chandler with two goals in the first period was looking for that third, for the fans to throw their hats. He
had a back door opportunity that just went wide off his stick.
“Yeah I missed the net, I got to bury that one and put that in.” Chandler said.
