On Tuesday night in Subway cup
action, Sarnia Produce faced a
depleted LanXess team under rainy
skies. Lanxess could only field
eight players making it very
difficult for fair competition.
Although the Azzurri came out strong
and forced most of the play,
shockingly it was LanXess who scored
first to take the early lead.
Eventually the huge advantage paid
off and Sarnia Produce got the
equalizer with a beautiful left
footed shot from Peter Nassiokas.
Produce continued to pressure with
numerous scoring chances however
great goaltending kept Lanxess in
check. Sarnia Produce found the net
four more times with goals from:
Lenny DeCarolis , Dino Decarolis,
Peter Tavabis and Mario DiDonato. An
injury to a Lanxess defender caused
the game to be called early. It was
a valiant effort on the Lanxess
squad!
