Sarnia at LaSalle

Legionnaires lost 4 - 2 against the LaSalle Vipers

Tyler Cicchini, with his third goal in three games, and Chase Clark, with his team-leading sixth of the campaign, scored for Sarnia in the 4 - 2 loss in LaSalle. Cicchini's put the puck through the five-hole on a nice passing play in which newly acquired Shawn Waldie and Tanner Tomlinson drew assists. Clark's marker came on a goal-mouth scramble.

The Legionnaires just missed tying the game in the final minute of play. In fact, they were only foiled when a Vipers defenceman dove in front of a puck headed for a wide open net.

The Vipers were led by Drew Palmer, who scored twice, including one into an open net.

LaSalle out-shot the Legionnaires 42-29, with Seth Anderson and Kyle Washer both seeing action in the Sarnia net.

Sarnia now has a 4-4-3 record, good enough for fourth place in the nine-team conference, one point behind LaSalle and Strathroy, who are tied for second.

The Legionnaires return to action tonight when they face the St. Marys Lincolns at the Sarnia Arena. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
