Box Score In what can only be described as a penalty filled affair, the No. 3 Lancer men's hockey team lost their first game of the season to the McGill Redman 2-1 on Friday afternoon at South Windsor Arena.
Â
With the loss, Windsor remains in first place in the OUA West division with an 11-1-0 record, while the Redman hold the second spot in the east with an 8-3-0 record.
Â
The Lancers got on the board first when
Julian Luciani scored his first goal of the season at 10:44 of the opening frame. On the power play, Luciani blasted one from the point on a pass from
Kyle Hope and
Matt Beaudoin to give the Lancers an early lead.
Â
Windsor held the lead through the rest of the first period as both teams spent a majority of the period in the penalty box and playing their special teams.
Â
Down by a goal heading into the second, the Redman evened up the score early in the second with Mathieu Pompei's third of the season.
Â
Windsor's
Ryan Green appeared to have the go ahead goal midway through the second but it was waived off by the officials, and the game remained tied at one heading into the third.
Â
With 15:39 remaining in regulation, the Redman took a one goal lead with a marker from Pat Delisle-Houde.
Â
Windsor swarmed the McGill net throughout the remainder of the game, but goaltender Jacob Gervais-Chouinard denied the Blue & Gold any opportunity to tie the game and send it into extra time.
Â
At the end of regulation, McGill finished the game with 62 minutes in penalties, while the Lancers were handed 38.
Â
Lancer goaltender
