Mooretown at Dresden
October 23, 2009

The Flags were back on the road Friday night and came home with a close 6 - 5 win.

Dresden took the early lead in the opening period on a goal scored by Cam Ross at 2:59.  Adam Little tied things up at 13:15 and the score would remain the same heading into the second period.

Dresden again scored early just :45 seconds on a powerplay goal by Scott Gawne.  Flags Spencer Lightfoot answered back at 2:57 then Jason Teschke gave Mooretown the lead for the first time in the game midway into the second and held on to the 3 - 2 lead heading into the third.

With a man short starting the third period Mooretown would give up another early period powerplay goal at :27 seconds to have both sides back with a clean slate.  Josh Beatty scored the powerplay goal for Dresden.  Donny Bowling regained the lead for Mooretown at 1:11 then Jason Teschke opened the lead to 2 with his second goal of the night.  Dresden's Dan Hyatt scored the 3rd powerplay goal of the night to narrow the lead only to have Greg Babcock answer back less than a minute later to keep the 2 point spread.  Late in the game Dresden pushed and Jesse Allen scored at 17:15 but the Flags held on to take the win.

Reid Rankin was the winning goalie with 46 saves, Brent Paxton took the loss with 39 saves.

Mooretown went 0 for 6 in powerplay opportunities, Dresden went 3 for 8.

Despite the win Mooretown dropped to 4th spot in the standings race as Alvinston (6 - 5) defeated Wallaceburg on Friday 2 - 1 to put them over Mooretown (5 - 6).  Wallaceburg (9  - 4) remains in top spot, with Dresden (6 - 7) in second - both teams are two games up.  Mooretown takes on Blenheim (2 - 11) tonight at home at 7:30 pm.
