Legionnaires Win in LaSalle
FEBRUARY 19, 2015
By
Dan McCaffery
Cody Trowell's great season
continued in spectacular fashion
Wednesday.
The big forward scored two goals
his 33rd and 34th of the
campaign to lead the Sarnia
Legionnaires to a 6-3 win over
the LaSalle Vipers.
The victory, which came right in
the Essex County town, improved
Sarnia's record to 32-15-1.
They have now won three in a row
and six of their last seven.
The Legionnaires remained in
third place, however, because
the Chatham Maroons won
Wednesday in London.
Sarnia trails the Maroons by a
single point. But the Legion has
just one game left in the
regular schedule while Chatham
has two.
Whatever happens in the
standings, this has been a
tremendous year for Trowell, who
has 10 more goals than he scored
all last winter.
Recalling his latest tallies,
Trowell said, The first was a
nice feed from Davis Boyer. I
was driving to the net and Davis
made a nice, patient play. I
shot it in high on the glove
side from the slot.
On his second tally, Trowell
stripped the puck from a Vipers
defender and scored on a
wrap-around play.
Single Legionnaire tallies went
to Ryan Vendramin (with his
29th), Ryan Trottier (his 12th),
Jay Clarke (his 9th) and Bobby
King with his second.
Rearguard Connor Andersen and
forward Davis Boyer had two
assists apiece. Single helpers
went to Cameron Clarke, Riley
Babkirk, Brandon Layman and Jake
O'Donnell.
Andrew Masters made 42 saves
including all 17 he faced in the
first period to register his
sixth win since joining the
Legionnaires last month. He also
had two wins earlier in the
season while toiling for the
last place St. Marys Lincolns.
Paolo Battisti faced 34 shots in
the LaSalle cage.
Vipers goals were credited to
Brett Primeau, Korey Morgan and
Connor Rosassen.
The Legionnaires close out their
regular schedule tonight
(Thursday, Feb. 19) with a home
game against the Lambton Shores
Predators. The puck drop is set
for 7:10 p.m.
